From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Eastern Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1969 Davis Cup.

8 teams entered the Eastern Zone, competing across 2 sub-zones. The winner of each sub-zones would play against each other to determine who would compete in the Inter-Zonal Zone against the winners of the Americas Zone and Europe Zone.[1]

Japan received a walkover in the Zone A final after South Vietnam withdrew, while India defeated Ceylon in the Zone B final.[2][3] In the Inter-Zonal final India defeated Japan and progressed to the Inter-Zonal Zone.[4]
