History

The Canadian Billie Jean King Cup team represents Canada in Billie Jean King Cup tennis competition and is governed by Tennis Canada. The tournament was known as Fed Cup from the first edition to 2020. The team's best result ever came in 2023 when they won the title by the score of 2–0 over Italy. Canada also reached the semifinals in 1988, and the quarterfinals on four occasions in 1964, 1967, 1987 and 2015. It has also only missed one Billie Jean King Cup since the inaugural competition in 1963.

Canada played its first tie in 1963 when the team of Ann Barclay and Louise Brown was defeated 0–3 by Great Britain in World Group first round. Canada and its team of Benita Senn, Vicki Berner and Louise Brown reached the World Group quarterfinals in 1964 with a 2–1 victory over Sweden in the second round, but was defeated 0–3 the next round by Australia. In 1967, Canada made it again to the World Group quarterfinals after beating Switzerland 2–1 in the opening round, but was defeated this time 0–3 by Germany. In 1987, Canada reached the third World Group quarterfinal of its history. The team defeated Netherlands 3–0 in the first round and the Soviet Union 2–1 in the second round. They were however eliminated 1–2 by Czechoslovakia. Canada had its better run to date when the country reach the World Group semifinals in 1988. Canada beat South Korea 2–1 and Finland 3–0 in the first and second rounds respectively, and then Sweden 3–0 in the quarterfinals. Their run was ended by Czechoslovakia with a score of 0–3. In 1995, Canada had its second best result with the new World Group format when they made it to the World Group playoffs after beating Italy 3–2 in the World Group II first round. The squad was then defeated 0–5 by Japan. In 2006, Canada earned its spot back in the World Group II when the team beat Argentina 3–2 in the World Group II playoffs. They were eliminated in the first round the next year by Israel 2–3. Canada was not able to secure its place in the World Group II for the second straight year as the team was eliminated by Argentina in the World Group II playoffs later that year. In 2010, Canada won the World Group II playoff over Argentina by the convincing score of 5–0 and regained the World Group II. In the World Group II first round in 2011, they were defeated 2–3 by Serbia. Canada then had to play a playoff to stay in the World Group II for the second straight year, but lost a close tie to Slovenia 2–3.

In 2013, Canada was promoted to the World Group II for the first time since 2011 when the team beat Ukraine 3–2 in the World Group II playoffs. In the first round of the World Group II in 2014, tie ended with a 3–1 score in favour of Canada. Canada next played a World Group playoff in April against Slovakia, the first time since 2004, and won the meeting 3–1. The win meant Canada had its place in the World Group next year, the first time ever for the country since the introduction of the new World Group format in 1995. Canada played their 2015 World Group first round against the reigning champions and number one seed the Czech Republic at home. The team, without its two best players Bouchard and Wozniak in its ranks, lost the four matches of the meeting. Canada had to host Romania in a World Group playoff in April to stay in the World Group for the next year and lost it 2–3. Canada next played a World Group II first round tie at home against Belarus in February 2016, but lost the meeting by a score of 2–3. Canada then played a playoff in April 2016 to secure its place in the World Group II for the next year, but lost a fourth tie in a row with a score of 3–2 for Slovakia. They were relegated in the Americas Zone Group I for 2017, the first time since 2013. In February 2017, the team defeated respectively Venezuela, Bolivia and Paraguay in the Round Robin, and Chile in the promotional playoff. Canada next played in April 2017 at the World Group II Play-offs against Kazakhstan. Canada won the tie 3-2 and earned its place back in the World Group II in 2018. In 2018, the team lost in the first round of the World Group II first round to Romania by the score of 1–3. In the World Group II Play-offs in April 2018, Canada defeated Ukraine 3–2 to secure Canada's place in the World Group II for a second straight year. In 2019, Canada advanced to the World Group playoffs for the first time since 2015 after defeating the Netherlands 4–0. Canada lost 0–4 to the Czech Republic, meaning they had to play in the Qualifying round in 2020, where they were defeated 1–3 by Switzerland. Canada then won 4–0 in the Qualifying playoffs over Serbia in 2021 and earning their place in the Finals in November, replacing former host nation Hungary as the the highest-ranked winning nation at the playoffs in April. In the finals, Canada won its first Round robin tie 2–1 over the defending champions France but lost the second one 0-3 to Russia (RTF), eliminating them from the competiton. In 2022, Canada won 4–0 over Latvia in the Qualifying round and played in the Finals later in November. They won their first round robin tie over Italy 3–0, but lost the second 1–2 to Switzerland. They next played in the Qualifying round in 2023, defeating Belgium 3–2 and earning a qualification in the Finals for the third straight year. They went on to win the first Billie Jean King Cup of its history, defeating Spain 3–0 and Poland 3–0 in the round robin, the Czech Republic 2–1 in the semifinals and Italy 2–0 in the final.
