Defending champions, Team Hawks, failed to qualify for the final, winning only one of three ties.

Team Eagles, composed of Daniil Medvedev, Sofia Kenin, Andrey Rublev and Mirra Andreeva, won the title, defeating Team Kites (Stefanos Tsitsipas, Aryna Sabalenka, Grigor Dimitrov and Paula Badosa) in the final, 29–26.[2]

Format

The teams played each other in a round-robin format. The ties consisted of five sets, each with one men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles and mixed doubles match. They got one point for each game they won in a tie. If the team that won the fifth set was leading the tie, the tie was over. If the team that won the fifth set was trailing in the match, the match went to overtime. If the leading team won one game in overtime, it won the match tie. If the overall game score became equal, a first to 10 'super shoot-out tiebreak' was played, which was worth one game point plus two bonus points.

Following the round-robin phase, the top two teams faced off in the final on 24 December 2023.[3]
