The United Cup is an international hard court tennis competition featuring mixed-gender teams from 18 countries.
While offering large purses, the tournament had been hampered by low attendance and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The new competition was seen as more akin to the Hopman Cup tournament formerly played in Perth from 1989 to 2019.
This city final is played in one day across a morning and an evening session.
For the 2024 edition, the six group winners along with the two best runners-up of each host city advanced to the quarterfinals.
