The 1974 Wightman Cup was the 46th edition of the annual international women's team tennis competition contested between the United States and Great Britain. The event took place from September 26 to September 29, 1974, at the Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California, United States.
The United States team emerged victorious over Great Britain with a final score of 5 matches to 2. This marked the 39th Wightman Cup title for the United States in the history of the competition.
The American team featured prominent players such as Billie Jean King, Chris Evert, Julie Heldman, and Rosie Casals, with Arthur Ashe serving as captain. Great Britain's team included Virginia Wade (who also captained), Sue Barker, Glynis Coles, and Sharon Walsh. Chris Evert notably won both of her singles matches for the United States, and Billie Jean King also contributed significantly in both singles and doubles.
The Wightman Cup, inaugurated in 1923, was a prestigious fixture in women's tennis, designed to foster friendly rivalry and showcase top talent from both nations. The 1974 edition continued this tradition, playing a part in the long-standing history of the tournament before its eventual discontinuation in 1989.
