On 13 December 2018, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal were the first players to confirm their participation for Team Europe.[2] During the 2019 Madrid Open, Stan Wawrinka expressed interest in participating in the event with Federer, but he instead played at the St. Petersburg Open in Russia.[3]

On 3 July 2019, Kevin Anderson, John Isner, Milos Raonic and Denis Shapovalov were announced for Team World.[5]
Stefanos Tsitsipas and Nick Kyrgios were both confirmed for the event on 13 August 2019.[6] As his final picks, Team World captain John McEnroe chose Jack Sock and Taylor Fritz, with Fritz replacing the injured Anderson.[7]
The total prize money for the 2019 Laver Cup was $2,250,000 for all 12 participating players.[8][9]
Each winning team member earned $250,000, which marks no increase in prize money compared to 2018.
Whereas, each of the losing team members earned $125,000 each.
