Qualification process

The qualification process is divided into four regions, the Asian Zone, the American Zone, the European Zone and the Australasian Zone. Teams in their respective zone will compete in a knockout format. Three singles and four doubles will be played on the day of competition. The teams that win their respective zone will earn a place in the final tournament to be held in Tokyo.[1]

The winners of the 1978 Uber Cup, Japan were exempted from the qualifying rounds and automatically qualified for the final tournament. Malaysia also advanced to the final tournament as they were the only representatives in the Asian zone.[2]
