1966 Davis Cup Europe Zone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Europe Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1966 Davis Cup.

32 teams entered the Europe Zone in total. For this year's tournament the Europe Zone was split into two sub-zones, with the winners of each sub-zone going on to compete in the Inter-Zonal Zone against the winners of the America Zone and Eastern Zone.^[1]

Brazil defeated France in the Zone A final, and West Germany defeated South Africa in the Zone B final, resulting in both Brazil and West Germany progressing to the Inter-Zonal Zone.^[1]^[2]^[3]
