Main article: 1987 Davis Cup

32 teams entered the Europe Zone in total, with 11 teams competing in the Africa Zone for 2 places in the Europe Zone main draws, joining an additional 21 teams. The winner of each sub-zone was then promoted to the following year's World Group.[1]

Switzerland defeated the Soviet Union in the Zone A final, and Denmark defeated Austria in the Zone B final, resulting in both Switzerland and Denmark being promoted to the 1988 World Group.[2][3]
