1974 Davis Cup Europe Zone
The Europe Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1974 Davis Cup.
33 teams entered the Europe Zone, competing across 2 sub-zones. 8 teams entered the competition in the pre-qualifying rounds, with 3 teams progressing to the preliminary rounds to join an additional 21 teams. From these 24 teams, 8 teams progressed to the main draw to join the 4 finalists from the 1973 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 Romania in the Zone A final, and the Soviet Union defeated Czechoslovakia in the Zone B final, resulting in both Italy and the Soviet Union progressing to the Inter-Zonal Zone.[1][2][3]
