The fifth edition of the United Cup will kick off the 2027 tennis season on January 1, with a star-studded field set to compete across Perth and Sydney in the 10-day mixed-team competition.
The tournament’s lineup and schedule were unveiled on Thursday, with Coco Gauff, Ben Shelton, Emma Raducanu, Linda Noskova and Felix Auger-Aliassime among the headliners.
Other notable participants include 2026 Roland Garros finalists Flavio Cobolli and Maja Chwalinska, along with Arthur Fils, Rafael Jodar, Victoria Mboko, Belinda Bencic, Elise Mertens and Jiri Lehecka.
“I can’t wait to represent Team USA again at the United Cup,” said World No. 4 Gauff. “There is such an incredible atmosphere that comes with playing at the event. We’re coming back with one goal – to bring the trophy home for the USA once again.”
Eighteen nations will compete in six groups of three across Perth and Sydney, with each tie featuring men’s singles, women’s singles and mixed doubles. Eight teams will advance to the quarterfinals, with the semifinals and final taking place in Sydney on January 9 and 10.
The United States is the only two-time champion, having won in 2023 and 2025. Germany claimed the title in 2024, while Poland enters the 2027 edition as defending champion after defeating Switzerland in the 2026 final.
