The Yugoslavia men's national tennis team competed from 1927 to 2003 and represented the
Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia) from 1946 to 1992, and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia from 1995 to 2003. It was organised by the Yugoslav Tennis Association. Following the breakup of Yugoslavia
in the 1990s, separate teams were created for the new nations which split apart from Yugoslavia:
- Croatia men's national tennis team(began competing in 1993)
- Slovenia men's national tennis team (began competing in 1993)
- North Macedonia men's national tennis team (began competing in 1995 as the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia)
- Bosnia and Herzegovina men's national tennis team (began competing in 1996)
A team representing the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia returned to competing again from 1995. From 2003 this country was renamed Serbia and Montenegro and the Davis Cup team was renamed to reflect the same from 2004, bringing to an end Yugoslav participation in the Davis Cup. Following further splits in 2006, several new teams were created for the relevant constituent parts:
- Serbia Davis Cup team (began competing in 2007)
- Montenegro Davis Cup team (began competing in 2007)
- Kosovo Davis Cup team (began competing in 2016)
