Generali enters its next chapter in tennis as Davis Cup presenting partner

World Tennis and Generali have signed a global multi-year presenting partnership for the Davis Cup, both parties have announced today.

The partnership builds on Generali’s longstanding commitment to the sport through a unique global platform, fully in line with Generali’s Lifetime Partner values of supporting people and connection in all the countries where the Group operates.

The prestigious 126-year-old competition – which becomes the Davis Cup by Generali – returns this weekend with 66 teams set to compete in 33 ties across six continents.

The presenting partner deal will put the Generali brand in front of the competition’s vast global audience, through rights to worldwide broadcast integration, significant in-bowl visibility and prominent back wall court branding at all Davis Cup events. Generali’s red brand colourway will also be integrated into the green Davis Cup brand.

World Tennis has built significant Davis Cup commercial momentum throughout 2026, and Generali leads a growing portfolio that includes Rolex, Visa, MG, Fage, Corpay and Betsson with further new deals expected in the coming weeks.

Generali has a strong foundation in tennis, which includes title sponsorship of the Generali Open in Kitzbühel and a partnership with Dominic Thiem in Austria, sponsorship of the Rolex Monte Carlo Masters event and partnerships with the Real Federación Española de Tenis (RFET) and Deutsche Tennis Bund (DTB).

Ross Hutchins, World Tennis Chief Executive, said: “This is a proud day for World Tennis, as we announce a momentous partnership uniting two premium global brands with shared values and a commitment to creating meaningful experiences for fans and customers worldwide. Generali is the ideal partner to help take our prestigious competition to the next level and we are very excited to work with them for years to come. As the world’s premier competition in men’s team tennis, the Davis Cup offers unique passion and national pride on a global scale unprecedented in world sport. The Generali team value this reach and everything the Davis Cup stands for.”

Philippe Donnet, Generali Group CEO, said: “We are delighted to partner with World Tennis for the Davis Cup, one of the most celebrated and recognised sporting events in the world. Generali has a longstanding connection with tennis, a sport that reflects many of the values we promote every day such as resilience, discipline and integrity. Through this partnership, we aim to harness the power of tennis to build on our commitment as a Lifetime Partner by encouraging active lifestyles and creating a lasting positive impact for individuals, families and communities.”

The seven winners of this weekend’s Qualifiers 2^nd Round ties will join reigning world champions Italy in November’s Davis Cup by Generali Final 8 in Bologna – where the chance to lift the coveted trophy will be at stake.
