The Bulgaria Davis Cup team represents Bulgaria in Davis Cup tennis competition and is governed by the Bulgarian Tennis Federation.

In 2014 Bulgaria suffered defeat at the hands of Finland in the first round, but then brought out world No. 15 Grigor Dimitrov for its relegation play-off with Greece and he did not disappoint, winning his singles rubber and teaming up with Dimitar Kutrovsky to win the doubles, which, following Kutrovsky's four-set success in the singles, meant that the Bulgarians had wrapped up the tie by the end of the second day of play.

History

Bulgaria made their Davis Cup debut in 1964. Their best performances came in the mid-1980s when they reached the Europe/Africa Zone Group I semifinals in two consecutive years - 1986 and 1987.
