The Davis Cup, established in 1900, began as an international team tennis challenge between the United States and Great Britain. It was conceived by four members of the Harvard University tennis team, with Dwight F. Davis designing the format and funding the original trophy. In 2019, the competition's final stages shifted from a year-long home-and-away format to a centralized, multi-day World Group Finals event held in select host cities.
