Ireland's next Davis Cup match is on the weekend of March 6th to the 8th in Castleknock Tennis Club.
  • Doubles, Sam and James

Ireland v Belarus in the 2015 Davis Cup by BNP Paribas

The Irish Davis Cup Team will play Belarus in Castleknock Lawn Tennis Club in the first round of the 2015 Davis Cup by BNP Paribas Euro/Africa Zone Group II from the 6th- 8th March 2015.
The winners will  face either Turkey or South Africa  in the second round from the 17th-19th July 2015. 

Ireland maintained its status in Europe/Africa Group II after comfortably defeating Egypt in the relegation play-off in Castleknock Lawn Tennis Club in April of this year.

James McGee's two straight sets singles victories, alongside a doubles triumph for Sam Barry and James Cluskey, was enough to record a fourth win over Egypt in Davis Cup tennis. 

Ireland last played Belarus in the first round of the Davis Cup in January of this year when the team of James Cluskey, John Morrissey, David O'Hare and Daniel Glancy were defeated 4-1 at the tie which took place in the Olympic Training Centre in Minsk.

This match will also be Irish Tennis legend, Conor Niland's first match as Captain.  Come on out and support the boys!
