What is the official name of the women’s team event once called the Fed Cup? Billie Jean King Cup. The competition adopted that name in 2020 to honor the champion and equality advocate Billie Jean King.

The event began in 1963 as the Federation Cup, created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the International Tennis Federation. It shortened its name to Fed Cup in 1995, then was officially renamed the Billie Jean King Cup on September 17, 2020. It is the leading international team competition in women’s tennis, with national teams representing their countries.

The name can be confused with the United Cup, which is a mixed-gender team event involving men and women, or the Hopman Cup, another mixed-team competition. The Wightman Cup was a separate historical contest between the United States and Great Britain that ended in 1989.

King’s name reflects both her achievements and her influence beyond the court. She won the competition seven times as a player and four times as captain, and she played a major role in advancing equality in sport.
