1969 Davis Cup Europe Zone

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

32 teams entered the Europe Zone, competing across 2 sub-zones. The winners of each sub-zone went on to compete in the Inter-Zonal Zone against the winners of the Americas Zone and Eastern Zone.[1]

Great Britain defeated South Africa in the Zone A final, and Romania defeated the Soviet Union in the Zone B final, resulting in both Great Britain and Romania progressing to the Inter-Zonal Zone.[1][2][3]
