The '''World Group''' was the highest level of competition in the 2000 Fed Cup.  This year, the World Group and World Group II merged to become one group, with one more team joining the Group from last year's [[1999 Fed Cup#World Group II Play-offs|World Group II Play-offs]]. Twelve teams were put into three pools of four teams each, with the winner of each pool joining defending champions the [[United States Fed Cup team|United States]] in a four-team play-off.

The defending champions claimed their seventeenth title, defeating five-time champions [[Spain Fed Cup team|Spain]] in the final.<ref>{{cite web |title=United States beat Belarus to win first Fed Cup title since 2000 |url=https://edition.cnn.com/2017/11/13/tennis/fed-cup-usa-coco-vandeweghe |website=edition.cnn.com |access-date=17 June 2025}}</ref>
