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 qualified as follows:

• Six countries qualified based on the ATP ranking of their number one ranked singles player.
• Six countries qualified based on the WTA ranking of their number one ranked singles player.
• The final six countries qualified based on the combined ranking of their number one ranked ATP and WTA players.

In exchange for being the host nation, Australia was guaranteed one of the spots reserved for teams with the best combined ranking should they have failed to qualify on merit, though this was not needed as Australia qualified directly in the fourth ATP ranking spot.

Teams featured up to three players from each tour.

Venues

Perth and Sydney 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.

Group stage

	Qualified for the knockout stage (in bold)
	Eliminated (in italics)

A country’s position within its group is determined by number of ties won and ties played. If three teams are tied with the same number of tie wins, then the team having played fewer total matches (singles and mixed doubles) will be eliminated and the winner of the head-to-head matchup between the two remaining teams advance. If still tied then the following procedures decide the group order: the most match wins (singles and doubles), then the highest percentage of matches won, then percentage of sets and then games won.

Ranking of second-placed teams

The best runner-up quarter-final spot is determined by the number of ties won and the number of ties played. In a tie between three teams, the team having played fewer total matches (singles and mixed doubles) will be eliminated and, if still tied then the team with the most match wins (singles and doubles). If still tied, then the ranking is determined by, in order: 1 the highest percentage of matches won 2 the highest percentage of sets won, and 3 the highest percentage of games won.
