The players that will compete for their nations at the 2026 Billie Jean King Cup by Gainbridge Junior Finals are now known.

Billie Jean King Cup Juniors is the premier international team competition for girls aged 16 and under and the season-long tournament this year culminates in the Finals in Cairo, Egypt.

The Finals will take place from 2-8 November and it will be the first time they will be held in Africa.

The Billie Jean King Cup Junior Finals, which are played alongside the Davis Cup Junior Finals, will be contested as four round-robin groups of four teams over the first three days of play, followed by a rest day and then the knockout stages.

Similar to the World Tennis 14&U Junior Finals in August, which saw players aged 14 and under compete, this event is a major developmental step for talented juniors as they continue their progression along the World Tennis player pathway.

Many of today’s top players have honed their skills at the Billie Jean King Cup and Davis Cup Junior Finals before going on to represent their nations at senior level and star at Grand Slams and on the ATP and WTA Tours. 

Previous winning teams have featured the likes of Rafael Nadal, Ashleigh Barty, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Denis Shapovalov, Iga Swiatek, Carlos Alcaraz, Coco Gauff and Joao Fonseca.
