The Laver Cup is a team competition invented in 2017 by Roger Federer's management company with the Brazilian businessman Jorge Paulo Lemann and Tennis Australia, and named for Rod Laver. Six players represent Team Europe and six Team World, each side led by a captain, and they play twelve matches over three days: three singles and one doubles each day. The scoring escalates, with Friday's matches worth one point, Saturday's two and Sunday's three, and the first side to thirteen takes the cup.
It carries no ranking points, appears on the ATP calendar as an official event, and is best understood as a produced spectacle. The court is black, both teams share a bench so that rivals coach each other on camera, and the whole thing is staged for television. The competition moves each year between a European and a non-European host, using existing indoor arenas: The O2 in London for 2026, the Intuit Dome outside Los Angeles for 2027.
01Warum es relevant ist
The Laver Cup solved a problem the sport had not solved before: how to make an exhibition matter. In our reading it is the most successful new property in tennis this century, and its principal weakness is the same as its strength, that everything depends on which players agree to appear.
02Die Woche darum
The competition lands in the last full week of September, immediately after the US Open and the start of the autumn calendar, and it takes its character from the host city rather than imposing one.
03Anreisezeitpunkt
Arrive Thursday and stay through Sunday: three days, six sessions, and a result that is genuinely in doubt until the last of them.
04Unterkunft
The competition's arenas are peripheral by design, so stay in the host city rather than near the venue.
05Zugang und Hospitality
Tickets are sold through the organizer's site and its ticketing partner, by session: each of the three days has an afternoon and an evening session, and multi-session and full-weekend tickets are also sold.
06Wo das gesellschaftliche Geschehen stattfindet
Everything at the venue happens on one concourse: the arena bars, the sponsor lounges and the hospitality suites, with the hospitality areas closed to standard ticket-holders.

09Geschichte
The first edition was played in Prague in 2017 with Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe as captains and Federer and Rafael Nadal on the same side of the net, an image that established the competition immediately.
10Wer ist dort
A tennis-literate audience willing to pay for proximity: the sport's own industry of agents, sponsors and federations, corporate hospitality from the host city, a substantial contingent of travelling followers who attend every year regardless of location, and, because the format is legible to non-specialists, a broader general audience than a tour event draws.
