The 2025 United Cup will be the third edition of the United Cup, an international outdoor hard court mixed-gender team tennis tournament held by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) and the Women's Tennis Association (WTA). Serving as the opener for the 2025 ATP Tour and the 2025 WTA Tour, it will be held from 27 December 2024 to 5 January 2025 at two venues in the Australian cities of Perth and Sydney. It will offer both ATP rankings and WTA rankings points to its players: a player will be able to win a maximum of 500 points.

Format

Both cities hosted three groups of three countries in a round robin format. Each tie consisted of one men's and one women's singles match, and one mixed doubles match.

The six group winners and the best runner-up in each city will advanced to the quarterfinals. There was a travel day allocated before the semi-finals and final take place in Sydney

Qualification

18 countries will qualify as follows:

• Five countries will qualify based on the ATP ranking of their number one ranked singles player.
• Five countries will qualify based on the WTA ranking of their number one ranked singles player.
• Eight countries will qualify based on the combined ranking of their number one ranked ATP and WTA players.

In exchange for being the host nation, Australia will be guaranteed one of the spots reserved for teams with the best combined ranking if it would have failed to qualify on its own.

Teams will feature up to three players from each tour.

Venues

Perth and Sydney will each hosted three groups of three countries in a round robin format and two quarterfinals. Sydney hosted the semifinals and the final on the last two days of the tournament.
