The Laver Cup is an international indoor men's tournament between and , the latter of which is composed of players from all other continents except Europe. Usually held annually since 2017, the tournament is intended to be the of the tennis world. It normally takes place two weeks after the US Open, with the location rotating between various host cities (that usually do not have an event); alternating yearly between European cities and cities in the rest of the world.

In addition to the guaranteed participation fees which are based upon the players' , each member of the winning team receives $250,000 in prize money, but the tournament itself does not count towards the players' point totals in the for that year. In May 2019, the Laver Cup became an officially sanctioned ATP Tour event, and the Laver Cup and the ATP renewed their agreement in 2024.

Matches during the Laver Cup tournament differ from conventional 3-set matches played on the ATP Tour; in the event when the match is tied at one set all, a 10-point “match tiebreak” is played instead of a deciding final set (this is to ensure that all matches conclude within a reasonable timeframe of approximately two hours, whilst enabling four matches to be completed within a match day – that begins either at 1 pm local time for Days 1 and 2, or at 12 noon local time for the final Day 3 of the tournament). In addition, unlike conventional ATP tour matches, coaching of match participants is commonly applied courtside by teammates and team captains.

Format
The competition pits six top European players against six of their counterparts from the rest of the world. Each team is led by a team captain, who is a tennis legend. Three of the six players qualify based on their ATP singles ranking as of the Monday following the in June. Three are "captain's picks", announced by the start of the US Open, in August.

There are 12 matches played over three days (nine singles and three doubles). Each match victory on day 1 is worth one point, on day 2 two points, and on day 3 three points. The first team to claim 13 points wins the tournament. Therefore, the winning team can only be decided on day 3.

There are six singles matches on the first two days (3 each day) and all six team players plays one of those matches. No player plays singles more than twice. At least four of the six team members take part in doubles. So, one team player (doubles specialist) could play all three doubles matches with three other team players. All matches start as two sets, a 10-point “match tiebreak” is played if the match is level at one set all.

In the event both teams are tied at 12 points each, a fifth match known as “The Decider” is played on day 3, whereby one set is played as a regular set with ad scoring and a tiebreak.

In the event that only one match is required on Sunday (last previous occurrence was at the 2023 Laver Cup), an exhibition match is played following the trophy ceremony.

Trophy
The Laver Cup trophy was designed and made by London-based Goldsmiths and Silversmiths, , in collaboration with London design agency, Dreamwerk. The trophy contains a number of distinctive features that directly reflect 's career. The trophy is shaped to reflect Laver’s famous ‘Rocket’ moniker, while the 200 notches around the rim of the trophy individually signify the number of career titles won by the Australian.

The trophy features four rings at its base, each of which represents Laver’s Grand Slam sweeps in 1962 and 1969. Molten metal from part of Laver’s New England Merchant Bank Trophy from the US Pro Tennis Championships was also incorporated into the body of the trophy. It took over 400 hours to complete and stands at a height of 66cm and weighs 14kg.

Thomas Lyte produced a series of mini-trophies for the winners of the competition. Mirroring the Laver Cup itself, the half-height miniatures were first awarded to the winners of the 2017 tournament.

History
The tournament is named after Australian , a tennis player widely regarded as one of the greatest in the history of the sport (He won all four major titles in the same calendar year, winning the Grand Slam twice in singles, in 1962 and 1969; the latter remains the only time a man has done so in the Open Era.) 's management company, TEAM8, Brazilian businessman Jorge Paulo Lemann, and partnered to create the Laver Cup. Roger Federer was inspired to create a tennis team tournament based on the biennial tournament, which features the best golfers from the United States playing against the best golfers from Europe. However, Laver Cup differs as it is purely an invitational event based on past historical performances; selection of (and the playing agreement with) the tournament participants are not automatically based from the highest ranked players of the recent ATP Tour world rankings.

Former rivals Björn Borg of Sweden (Team Europe) and of the United States (Team World) were announced to serve as captains for at least the first three editions. After the 2019 edition, they announced that they will reprise their roles as team captains for a fourth straight edition.
