Great Britain will host a home Fed Cup tie in 2019 for the first time in 25 years.

Britain and Poland will share hosting duties for the round-robin event in the top division of the Europe/Africa zone.

Bath University will stage the event on 6-9 February, with Britain joined by seven other teams, split into two groups of four.

Britain have played in 15 different countries since they last hosted a home tie in May 1993.

The annual tournament involves up to 16 teams from Europe and Africa.

Captain Anne Keothavong said a home tie would give the British side a chance to showcase women's tennis.
