Following the success of this year's inaugural United Cup, a second edition will be held on the hard courts of Perth and Sydney, Australia from December 29, 2023 to January 7, 2024.

The 2023 edition of the United Cup saw top players from around the world representing 18 countries compete for a $15,000,000 prize money pool. The United States won the first edition by defeating Italy in the final, on top of strong performances from Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe, Madison Keys and Jessica Pegula.
