ITF Davis Cup Nations Ranking - How it Works
The ITF Davis Cup Nations Ranking measures the success of all Nations participating in the Competition over a 'rolling' four year period. After each round the ranking period adjusts and any results outside the adjusted four year period drop off.

Recent performance is weighted more heavily: points from the second, third and fourth year of the Ranking Period will be reduced by 25%, 50% and 75% respectively. Therefore, 100 points would become 75, then 50, then 25 over the four years.

Only winning teams can receive points to advance, and there are bonus points for any Nation that defeats a higher-ranked Nation (see table below). Unique to tennis, there are additional bonus points for any Nation that is able to win on an opponent's home ground. If an away nation wins a tie, it receives 25% of the round points and any rankings bonus points it receives for that tie in addition to those points. For example, if a nation received 10 round points and 10 bonus points for winning a tie, making a total of 20 points, if it had won away it would then receive 25% of this total (5 points) in addition, making a total of 25 points.
