Format
The 24 teams were divided into six groups of four teams each in a round-robin format. The six winners of each group and the two best runners-up would qualify for the quarter-finals. A country's position within its group was determined by ties won, then matches won, and then sets and games won percentages unless two or more teams were tied, in which case a head-to-head win took precedence over matches won.
Group stage
The draw for the ATP Cup was revealed on 16 September 2019 with Brisbane getting Groups A and F, Perth getting Groups B and D, and Sydney getting Groups C and E.
On 14 November, the final five qualifiers were placed in the draw, along with Bulgaria, who were entered the competition after Switzerland withdrew after Roger Federer declined to participate due to logistical and travel issues.
