As the legal successor to previous national teams, Serbia has inherited all results from the former Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro teams. Since June 2006, following the dissolution of Serbia and Montenegro, the team has competed under the name Serbia.
In 2012, the team reached its first Fed Cup final, achieving victories over the Belgium and Russia teams in away ties, before ultimately losing to the Czech Republic in Prague. That same year, the Olympic Committee of Serbia honored the Fed Cup team as the best women's team of 2012.

Before 1992
Serbia, together with other former Yugoslavian countries, competed in its first Fed Cup in 1969, as Yugoslavian Fed Cup team until 1992. Yugoslavia reached the semifinals in 1984, with 1977 French Open champion, Mima Jaušovec and Sabrina Goleš in the team.
From 1995
Together with, what is now Montenegro Fed Cup team, Serbia competed under name of Yugoslavia from 1995 until 2003; and from 2004–2006 under name of Serbia and Montenegro. After Montenegro declared its independence, Serbia is competing under its present name since 2007.
The biggest success from 1995 is when Serbia Fed Cup team reached the final in 2012 Fed Cup World Group, where they lost to Czech Republic in away tie.
