1983 Davis Cup Europe Zone

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

Main article: 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]
