Australia had already made it to the final last year, but missed out on triumph against Canada.
The proud tennis nation, serial winners of the 50s and 60s, has been waiting for the next Davis Cup success since 2003.
Against Finland, who had surprisingly defeated defending champion Canada in the quarter-finals, Popyrin put Australia in the lead with a 7:6 (7:5), 6:2 against Otto Virtanen. De Minaur secured victory in the top singles against Emil Ruusuvuori (6:4, 6:3).
The German team missed the final tournament of the best eight teams, but secured relegation in the world group after losing in the first round against Switzerland. This means that next spring it will once again be a matter of qualifying for the final rounds.
