The teams will compete in a best-of-seven format consisting of two men’s and two women’s singles matches, one men’s and one women’s doubles match, and one mixed doubles match.  The United States, which has reached the competition finals for the last two seasons, will compete against countries from Belgium, China, France, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland and Spain.
