Hopman Cup Tennis Records: Winners, Stats & History

The Hopman Cup’s record book is a mix of national success, memorable partnerships and unusual team ties. In its original Perth run, the United States won more titles than any other country, while Roger Federer helped Switzerland lift the trophy across three different editions.

The tournament returned after a break, so it helps to separate its original 1989–2019 history from the later editions. Here’s a clear look at the Perth-era champions, the leading nations and the records that stand out.

Hopman Cup records at a glance

Record Holder Detail
Most Perth-era titles by a country United States 7 titles
Most Perth-era titles by a player Roger Federer 3 titles with Switzerland
Most recent Perth-era champion Switzerland Won in 2018 and 2019
Most Perth-era titles by a pair Roger Federer and Belinda Bencic Won together in 2018 and 2019

These figures refer to the original tournament in Perth, which ran from 1989 through 2019. The Hopman Cup later returned in a new format and location, so Perth-era totals should not be confused with results from the revived event.

Which country has won the most Hopman Cups?

The United States leads the Perth-era standings with seven titles. Its victories came in 1992, 1997, 2003, 2004, 2007, 2008 and 2011. Spain is next with five, followed by Switzerland with four.

The U.S. wins came in clusters. The country took back-to-back titles in 2003 and 2004, then repeated that feat in 2007 and 2008. Spain’s five trophies were spread across a longer stretch, from its first win in 1990 to its last Perth-era title in 2013.

Federer, Bencic and Switzerland’s late run

Roger Federer won the Hopman Cup three times for Switzerland: in 2001, 2018 and 2019. His success across such a long span is one of the event’s most striking player records. The tournament’s team format also made his titles different from a standard singles trophy: he had to contribute alongside a female teammate and, when needed, in mixed doubles.

Belinda Bencic partnered Federer for the last two Perth-era titles. Their back-to-back wins in 2018 and 2019 made them the standout pair of the tournament’s final years. In the 2019 final, Bencic beat Germany’s Angelique Kerber and Federer defeated Alexander Zverev, securing the tie for Switzerland before the mixed doubles could decide it.

That final was a fitting end to the Perth run: two singles wins settled a team contest featuring four top-level players. The Hopman Cup’s format often rewarded depth and partnership, not just a star player’s ranking.
