1986 Davis Cup Europe Zone

Main article: 1986 Davis Cup

The Europe Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1986 Davis Cup.

A new Africa Zone was contested for the first time, which served as a qualifying round for the Europe Zone. Teams from 9 African nations competed for 2 places in the Europe Zone main draws, joining an additional 24 teams. The winner of each sub-zone was then promoted to the following year's World Group.[1]

France defeated Austria in the Zone A final, and Israel defeated Switzerland in the Zone B final, resulting in both France and Israel being promoted to the 1987 World Group.[2][3]
