Fed Cup Winners 1963-2001
The Fed Cup is formerly known as the Federation Cup and started in 1963 by the International Tennis Federation as the Davis Cup of women's tennis.   Through 1994, the format of the Fed Cup was that the entire event was held over a one week period in one city.  As of 1995, the Fed Cup has adopted a Davis Cup style format.

As with Davis Cup, the Fed Cup competition is divided into the highest level World Group and the lower level Zone competitions.  The World Group consists of 8 countries which compete using a single elimination draw to determine the Cup winner for a given year.  The 4 countries which lose in the 1st round (quarterfinals) are required to compete in a qualifying, or relegation round, against 4 other countries winning Zone competition matches, for the right to remain in the World Group for the next year.

The format of a Fed Cup "tie" is as follows.  The tie will be played over two days:

  • Day 1 features two singles matches.
  • Day 2 features the reverse singles matches and then the doubles match.

As in Davis Cup, the team winning at least three matches wins the tie.  Also, like Davis Cup, one of the two teams serves as the host country, with host duties alternating for a given pair of opposing countries.  The host country enjoys the privilege of choosing the venue and court surface for the tie.
