Half of the teams will head out west to Perth, while the remainder will go to Sydney as they battle through a series of singles and mixed doubles matches in a bid to reach the final.

The top six players in each of the ATP and WTA rankings qualified for the event with their nation, while the final six teams were selected based on the highest combined ranking of a nation's top ATP and WTA players.

Nations will face against one another in a men's singles match, women's singles match and a mixed doubles clash. The top four teams based in Perth and Sydney will participate in quarter-finals before convening in the latter city for the semi-finals and ultimate final.

Men's World No.1 Novak Djokovic is available to play in the tournament in a big boost to the prestige of the event, while women's World No.1 Iga Świątek will also lead Poland into battle.
