Fed Cup - Structure

The format for the Fed Cup in 2005 consists of an eight-nation World Group I and eight-nation World Group II. The competition will be played over three weekends on a home and away knockout format. All other nations compete in Regional Qualifying events. The four nations that lose in the first round of World Group I will face the four nations who have won their first World Group II Match in play-off ties. The losers of World Group II first matches will participate in play-offs against the winners of the Regional Qualifying rounds to determine who will play in the 2006 World Group II.
