The daily Svenska Dagbladet said Monday that the committee, responsible for many of the country's training programmes, was resigning in protest at the Swedish Tennis Federation's heavy-handed tactics.
Davis Cup committee members say the federation had ruled that new Davis Cup captain Carl-Axel Hageskog should report directly to the federation rather than the Davis Cup committee.
Swedish newspapers said the split between Sweden's two most powerful tennis bodies had been papered over until the Davis Cup final was over.
Thomas Eklund, one of the committee, said the federation had decided to abolish the committee, which was set up in 1989 to try to restore Sweden's position as a top tennis nation.
"The federation's board has seen us as a threat because we were too knowledgeable about tennis," Svenska Dagbladet newspaper quoted Eklund as saying. He added that Davis Cup Committee Chairman Ingvar Carlsson had been singled out for harsh treatment.
The Davis Cup committee was also critical of the way Hageskog was appointed, saying he was the panel's candidate but the tennis federation had ruled he should not report to the committee.
Sweden's national coach Martin Bohm resigned last month after the federation refused to accept a Davis Cup committee recommendation to make him Davis Cup coach.
