Laver Cup
Laver Cup: when it is played, who shows it, every champion and what it pays.
Updated 22 September 2026
The Laver Cup is a men's team competition: six players from Europe against six from the rest of the world, twelve matches over three days, indoors on hard courts. It is played two weeks after the US Open, and the host city alternates each year between Europe and the rest of the world, usually in places without a tournament of their own on the ATP Tour.
Matches are worth more as the weekend goes on: one point on Friday, two on Saturday, three on Sunday, and 13 of the 24 points on offer win the cup, which is why a deficit after two days settles nothing. Matches are best of three sets with a match tiebreak in place of a deciding set, and at 12-12 a decisive doubles over one set. There are no ranking points, though the competition has been an ATP-sanctioned event since 2019. It has been played since 2017, grew out of Roger Federer's idea of honouring Rod Laver and his generation, and takes its shape from golf's Ryder Cup: captains, a bench, coaching from the side of the court.
