18 teams will be divided into six pools with each pool containing 3 teams. The United Cup replaces the ATP Cup and it will be held in three cities – Brisbane, Perth, and Sydney. The erstwhile ATP Cup was exclusively held in Sydney.

The group-stage encounters will be held between December 29 to January 4. The top four teams that will progress from the round-robin stage will be seen in action in Sydney between January 6 to 8.

Out of the 18 countries participating in the event, 12 countries have been selected from the nations of the top six men’s and women’s players, as per the ATP and WTA rankings.
