All details relating to the competition for the Davis Cup, and the conduct of that competition, are settled by the "Regulations for the. International Lawn Tennis Championship (Davis Cup),” ,and can only be altered under Regulation 37 and 38 of those Regulations by a two-thirds majority at a meeting of the nations "which shall have competed and are still eligible to compete" for the Cup. There are forty nations included in this category, and a meeting is generally held annually in the country of the champion nation for the time being at or about the time when the challenge round is played.
