Australia will host China on grass in Geelong in a Davis Cup Asia-Oceania qualifying round clash in February.
The Geelong Lawn Tennis Club won the right to host the event ahead of three other Victorian regional cities - Shepparton, Mildura and Albury-Wodonga.
Australian Davis Cup captain Pat Rafter said his team was already looking forward to the tie.
"Our planning has already started for this tie and we are hellbent on playing well and winning," Rafter said.
"The boys really enjoy playing on grass and are keen to get on the local courts as early as we can.
"We always get great support when we go to regional centres and we will be keen to give the people of Geelong a good look at some top-class Davis Cup tennis."
The tie will be held from February 10-12.
