For the first time, the ties were not all played at the same location. The "World Group" ties were played at the Newport Athletic Club in Newport, Monmouthshire, United Kingdom from 7–9 June, and the final was played at Warple Road in Wimbledon, London, United Kingdom on 15–18 June. Britain retained the Cup for their fourth championship.
