Romania is also a five-time Fed Cup quarterfinalist, having reached the last eight in 1974, 1978, 1980, 1981 and 2016.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,[2][4] 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. In 2018, Romania booked its return to the World Group thanks to a 3-1 play-off victory over Switzerland.Players[edit]2019 team (World Group)[edit]2018 team (World Group Play-offs)[edit]2018 team (World Group II)[edit]2017 team (World Group II Play-offs)[edit]2017 team (World Group II)[edit]2016 team (World Group Play-offs)[edit]2016 team (World Group)[edit]2015 team (World Group Play-offs)[edit]2015 team (World Group II)[edit]NotesINJ Player withdrew from the squad due to an injury.2014 team[edit]2013 team[edit]2012 team[edit]2011 team[edit]2010 team[edit]2009 team[edit]Results[edit]Only World Group, World Group Play-off, World Group II, and World Group II Play-off ties are included.1973\u20131979[edit]YearCompetition[5]DateLocationOpponentScoreResult1973World Group, 1st Round1 MayBad Homburg (FRG)\u00a0Brazil3\u20130WonWorld Group, 2nd Round3 MayBad Homburg (FRG)\u00a0Sweden2\u20131WonWorld Group, Quarterfinal4 MayBad Homburg (FRG)\u00a0Great Britain2\u20131WonWorld Group, Semifinal5 MayBad Homburg (FRG)\u00a0South Africa1\u20132Lost1974World Group, 1st RoundMayNaples (ITA)\u00a0Argentina2\u20131WonWorld Group, 2nd RoundMayNaples (ITA)\u00a0Sweden2\u20131WonWorld Group, QuarterfinalMayNaples (ITA)\u00a0West Germany0\u20133Lost1975World Group, 1st RoundMayAix-en-Provence (FRA)\u00a0Luxembourg3\u20130WonWorld Group, 2nd RoundMayAix-en-Provence (FRA)\u00a0Italy1\u20132Lost1976World Group, 1st RoundAugustPhiladelphia (USA)\u00a0Australia0\u20133Lost1978World Group, 1st RoundNovemberMelbourne (AUS)\u00a0Italy2\u20131WonWorld Group, 2nd RoundNovemberMelbourne (AUS)\u00a0Switzerland2\u20131WonWorld Group, QuarterfinalDecemberMelbourne (AUS)\u00a0Soviet Union0\u20133Lost1979World Group, 1st RoundAprilMadrid (ESP)\u00a0Mexico2\u20131WonWorld Group, 2nd RoundMayMadrid (ESP)\u00a0Switzerland1\u20132Lost1980\u20131989[edit]1990\u20131999[edit]2010\u20132019[edit]YearCompetition[5]DateLocationOpponentScoreResult2014World Group II, Play-off19\u201320 AprilBucharest (ROU)\u00a0Serbia4\u20131Won2015World Group II, 1st Round7\u20138 FebruaryGala\u021bi (ROU)\u00a0Spain3\u20132WonWorld Group, Play-off18\u201319 AprilMontreal (CAN)\u00a0Canada3\u20132Won2016World Group, 1st Round6\u20137 FebruaryCluj-Napoca (ROU)\u00a0Czech Republic2\u20133LostWorld Group, Play-off16\u201317 AprilCluj-Napoca (ROU)\u00a0Germany1\u20134Lost2017World Group II, 1st Round11\u201312 FebruaryBucharest (ROU)\u00a0Belgium1\u20133LostWorld Group II, Play-off22\u201323 AprilMamaia (ROU)\u00a0Great Britain3-2Won2018World Group II, 1st Round10-11 FebruaryCluj-Napoca (ROU)\u00a0Canada3\u20131WonWorld Group, Play-off21-22 AprilCluj-Napoca (ROU)\u00a0Switzerland3\u20131Won2019World Group, 1st Round9-10 FebruaryOstrava (CZE)\u00a0Czech Republic3\u20132WonWorld Group, Semifinals20-21 AprilRouen (FRA)\u00a0France2-3LostReferences[edit]See also[edit]External links[edit]"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki4\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki4\/romania-billie-jean-king-cup-team\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Romania Billie Jean King Cup team"}}]}]
