The defending champions had taken a 2-0 lead into Saturday's doubles rubber after David Ferrer rallied from two sets down to claim a 1-6, 2-6, 6-4, 6-4, 8-6 victory over Radek Stepanek on Friday. Rafael Nadal had earlier won the first singles match of the final, defeating Tomas Berdych 7-5, 6-0, 6-2.
And a battling display from Lopez and Verdasco saw the Spaniards claim their fourth Davis Cup title. The duo were taken to tie-break in the first set before taking the initiative with a 7-6 (9-7) win.
The Spanish pair were again tested by their Czech opponents in the second set, but set up a title win by taking the set 7-5.
And the Davis Cup was in Spanish hands for the second consecutive year as Lopez and Verdasco blazed to a 6-2 win in the third set to seal a straight sets victory.
Spain become the first nation to successfully defend the Davis Cup since Sweden in 1998.
