What is the Laver Cup?

The Laver Cup is a team-based tennis tournament that sees Team Europe take on Team World in the best of 12 games. Named after Australian tennis legend Rod Laver, the competition was created by Roger Federer in 2017, who was inspired by the format of the Ryder Cup golf tournament, which sees the best of European golfers take on the best of American golfers.

The 12 matches – which include singles and doubles – are played over three days, with matches played on day one worth one point, while matches played on day two are worth two points, with three points awarded to the victors of matches on day three. The team with the most points at the end of the competition is the winner of the Laver Cup.
