1980 Davis Cup Europe Zone

The Europe Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1980 Davis Cup.

30 teams entered the Europe Zone, competing across 2 sub-zones. 26 teams entered the competition in the qualifying round, competing for 4 places in each sub-zone's main draw to join the 4 finalists from the 1979 Europe Zone. The winners of each sub-zone's main draw went on to compete in the Inter-Zonal Zone against the winners of the Americas Zone and Eastern Zone.[1]

Italy defeated Sweden in the Zone A final, and Czechoslovakia defeated Romania in the Zone B final, resulting in both Italy and Czechoslovakia progressing to the Inter-Zonal Zone.[1][2][3]
