The Laver Cup was created by Roger Federer's management company TEAM8 alongside Brazilian entrepreneur Jorge Paulo Lemann and Tennis Australia. Inspired by golf's Ryder Cup, the concept was simple: take the world's best players out of individual competition and put them in a team setting, Europe against everyone else.
The tournament is named after Rod Laver — the Australian legend who remains the only player to win the calendar-year Grand Slam twice, in 1962 and 1969. Federer personally chose the name as a tribute to a player he considered the greatest of his era.
The inaugural event was held in Prague in September 2017. Team Europe, captained by Björn Borg and featuring Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and the next generation, dominated from the start and won 15–9. A new tennis institution had arrived.
The 2022 edition at The O2 in London will be remembered forever as the night Roger Federer played his final professional match. Partnering longtime rival Rafael Nadal in doubles on the opening evening, Federer — visibly emotional and clearly not at full fitness — played one last time before announcing his retirement from the sport. Nadal wept courtside. The crowd gave a standing ovation that lasted several minutes.
Despite the emotional occasion, the tennis was fiercely competitive. Team World, featuring Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe and Félix Auger-Aliassime, rode the wave to their historic first title, winning 13–8. It was a watershed moment: after four consecutive European victories, the rest of the world had finally broken through.
The 2024 edition in Berlin saw Carlos Alcaraz make his Laver Cup debut in front of a passionate home crowd for Alexander Zverev. Europe trailed badly heading into the final day before Alcaraz produced a stunning comeback — winning both a singles match and the decisive doubles alongside Casper Ruud to clinch a 13–11 victory. It was the Spaniard's most memorable team-sport performance and gave European fans hope for 2026.
The 2025 edition marked a changing of the guard in the dugout. Björn Borg stepped down as Team Europe captain, replaced by Yannick Noah, while John McEnroe handed the Team World reins to Andre Agassi. Agassi won at his first attempt. Despite late withdrawals from Ben Shelton, Tommy Paul and Frances Tiafoe, Team World rallied around Alex de Minaur — who went 3–0 in singles — and Taylor Fritz, who clinched the title. Final score: 15–9 to Team World.
