The competition is scheduled to be hosted on clay in Nice from July 19 to 23 as part of a five-year agreement between the ITF and Tennium, a Barcelona-based company which operate multiple Association of Tennis Professionals and Women's Tennis Association events.

As in previous editions of the competition, each team will consist of one male and one female player, with ties between nations featuring one men's singles match, one women's singles match and a mixed doubles match.

Six teams will compete in the 2023 and 2024 editions, with the competition expanding to eight teams from 2025 onwards.

As hosts, France will field a team each year.

Last played in 2019, the Hopman Cup has long been a unique fixture on the annual tennis calendar, featuring players such as Roger Federer, Serena Williams, Novak Djokovic, Steffi Graff, John McEnroe, Martina Hingis, Boris Becker, Li Na and Andy Murray who have represented their nations in both singles and mixed doubles.

Founded in 1989, the event spent its first 30 years in Australian city Perth and was played in the opening week of the tennis season.

The Hopman Cup was named after the renowned Australian Davis Cup captain, Harry Hopman.

In addition to a playing career that saw him reach three Australian Open singles finals and win seven Grand Slam titles across men's and mixed doubles, Hopman led the Australian team to a record 16 titles between 1939 and 1967.

Hopman's widow, Lucy, was a regular attendee at the Hopman Cup in Perth until her death at the age of 98 in 2018.

"We are thrilled to partner with Tennium and that the Hopman Cup will return in 2023," ITF President David Haggerty said.

"We are already looking forward to visiting the beautiful city of Nice next July.

"The Hopman Cup, as a unique mixed team event, has always enjoyed a special place in the hearts of tennis fans, and I am sure that spectators in Nice will relish the chance to see some of the world's top men and women players on the same court."

Kristoff Puelinckx, Tennium's chief executive, said: "We are looking forward to building out this great event, by leveraging our extensive experience with tournaments, players, and fans from around the world.

"We will work closely with ITF to ensure this event continues to be a milestone on the tennis calendar and we believe that Nice is the perfect stage for it."

Nice Mayor Christian Estrosi, a former professional motorcyclist, added: "This event confirms once again that Nice is a privileged destination for the biggest international sporting events.

"After the Grand Départ of the Tour de France in 2020, the Top 14 semi-finals in 2022, the Hopman Cup will precede the Rugby World Cup by a few weeks, and then the arrival of the Tour de France in July 2024."
