2027 United Cup
January 1, 2027 – January 10, 2027 AEDT
The United Cup is an international outdoor hard-court tennis competition featuring mixed-gender teams from 18 countries, kicking off the professional tennis calendar in the leadup to the Australian Open. Originally inaugurated in December 2022, the tournament features ATP and WTA players competing for up to 500 ranking points alongside substantial prize money. Each tie consists of men’s singles, women’s singles, and mixed doubles matches.
The 2027 United Cup will run from January 1 to January 10, 2027. It takes place across two host cities: Perth (RAC Arena) and Sydney (Ken Rosewall Arena). Group stage and select quarterfinal matches will be split between both locations before the remaining teams converge in Sydney to decide the semifinals and final.
