The winner of the tie will go through to the 2026 World Group play-offs. The losing side will compete in a World Group II play-off in 2026.
Kevin Quinn, CEO of Tennis Ireland, said: “Bringing the Davis Cup to the Sport Ireland Campus is a huge moment for Irish tennis.
“Not only does it give our players the chance to compete in front of a home crowd, but it also showcases Ireland’s ability to host elite-level international competition. We are proud to welcome PR China and look forward to an electric atmosphere this September.”
Minister for Sport Patrick O’Donovan said: “I’m confident the Davis Cup will be a memorable sporting event, but it’s also important to recognise the broader impact major international competitions can have — encouraging more people to get involved in sport and leaving a lasting legacy.
“These occasions also boost trade, tourism, and community spirit, supporting regional growth and strengthening Ireland’s reputation on the world stage.”
More details, including team line-ups, ticket sales, and media accreditation, will be shared in the coming weeks, Tennis Ireland said.
