Kyrgios has been a regular at the Laver Cup, representing Team World in each of the first four editions of the tournament. The Aussie had a 1-2 record in the 2017 edition, beating Tomas Berdych and losing to Roger Federer. He also lost his doubles fixture against Berdych and Rafael Nadal, with Jack Sock as his partner.

In 2018, Kyrgios lost both of his singles matches to Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic but won his doubles clash against Grigor Dimitrov and David Goffin while partnering Jack Sock. The Aussie-American duo were victorious again at the 2019 Laver Cup as they beat Rafael Nadal and Stefanos Tsitsipas. Kyrgios, however, lost his singles match against Roger Federer.

The 2021 Laver Cup was a disappointing one for the Australian as he lost both of his matches.
