Next tie 2014
Switzerland will compete in World Group II next year. The draw for next year's Fed Cup by BNP Paribas will take place on Wednesday 10 July.
Last tie 20-21 April 2013
Switzerland failed to win a place in the World Group after Australia proved too strong in a rain-affected play-off. With no play possible on the first two days, Switzerland and Australia were forced to contest the singles rubbers simultaneously. Romina Oprandi scored Switzerland's only point as they fell 3-1 to the visitors.
History
Switzerland were runners-up in 1998, narrowly losing to Spain 3-2. The team of Martina Hingis and Patty Schnyder led the Spaniards 2-1, but slipped to defeat in the deciding doubles rubber.
