The Serbia Hopman Cup team has represented Serbia in three Hopman Cup tournaments since the country attained independence. The team reached the final in each appearance: in 2008, where they were defeated by the United States; in 2011, when they withdrew before the final due to an abdominal injury sustained by Ana Ivanovic;[1] and in 2013, when they lost to Spain.

As the legal successor, Serbia inherited all previous results from the former Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro teams. Since June 2006, following the dissolution of Serbia and Montenegro, the team has competed under the name Serbia.

The team first participated in the inaugural Hopman Cup in 1989 under the name Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia competed in three consecutive Hopman Cup tournaments before the country's breakup in the early 1990s, winning the tournament once, in 1991.[2] Competing under the name Serbia and Montenegro, the team participated in the 18th Hopman Cup in 2006.
