Which country has won the Davis Cup the most times? The complete list of champions
USA It is the leading winner of the Davis Cup, which makes sense since for almost the first two decades of the competition it was one of the few countries to participate. Without further ado, it took nearly 30 years for a non-North American country, Great Britain or Australia (other of the original participants) became champion (France) and it wasn’t until the 1970s that the tournament was won by a team other than these four who are, predictably, the ones who have amassed the most titles in the competition.
Curiously, The winningest team in history hasn’t beaten Davis since 2007, while Australia hasn’t won it since 2003. For Americans, it’s the longest drought ever. For the Oceans, if they don’t win the tournament until 2023, they will have matched their worst streak (20 years between 1919 and 1939). France and Great Britain have won the Cup in recent years: the Gauls in 2017. the British in 2015.
