The Laver Cup, held annually since 2017, is a unique international men's team tennis tournament pitting Team Europe against Team World. Intended to mirror the Ryder Cup's format, it occurs two weeks post-US Open, rotating between global cities. Players receive appearance fees based on ATP rankings, with winners earning an additional $250,000. While officially sanctioned by the ATP Tour, it doesn't contribute to ranking points. The Laver Cup features distinctive rules: matches tied at one set proceed to a 10-point tiebreak, and on-court coaching by teammates and captains is permitted.
