The Americas Zone was one of the three zones of the regional Davis Cup competition in 1988.

Main article: 1988 Davis Cup

In the Americas Zone there were two different tiers, called groups, in which teams competed against each other to advance to the upper tier.

Group I

The winner of Group I was promoted to the following year's World Group. Teams who lost their respective first-round ties competed in the relegation play-off, with the winning team remaining in Group I, whereas the losing team was relegated to the Americas Zone Group II in 1989.[1]
