History
Portugal competed in its first Davis Cup in 1925. Their first opponent was Italy, who won 4âÂÂ1.
Portugal's most successful moment came in 1994 after defeating Great Britain 4âÂÂ1 in the Group I of the Europe/Africa Zone and qualifying to the World Group play-offs. The team led by João Cunha e Silva, Nuno Marques and Emanuel Couto lost, however, to Croatia 4âÂÂ0 (the last rubber was abandoned).
