History

Romania’s best result is a semi-final appearance in 1973. Romania is also a four-time Fed Cup quarterfinalist, having reached the last eight in 1974, 1978, 1980 and 1981. It spent a total of twelve years in the competition's World Group, from which it was relegated in 1992. Romania spent the next seven years in the Europe/Africa Zonal level. The team reached the World Group II Play-offs in 1999 but failed to secure a promotion to that level.

Romania competed exclusively at the Europe/Africa Zonal level from 2000 through 2013. With four players among the WTA's top 100 at the end of 2013 and 2014, the team achieved back-to-back promotions between 2014 and 2015. As a result, Romania competed at the World Group level in 2016, for the first time since 1992, and were relegated to the World Group II for 2017.
