1983 Davis Cup Europe Zone

The Europe Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1983 Davis Cup.

25 teams entered the Europe Zone in total, split across two sub-zones. The winner of each sub-zone was promoted to the following year's World Group.[1]

West Germany defeated Switzerland in the Zone A final, and Yugoslavia defeated Hungary in the Zone B final, resulting in both West Germany and Yugoslavia being promoted to the 1984 World Group.[2][3]
