Main article: 1936 International Lawn Tennis Challenge

The America Zone was one of the two regional zones of the 1936 International Lawn Tennis Challenge.

Due to the low number of competing South American teams, the North & Central America and South America Zones were scrapped and the Americas played in one unified zone. 4 teams entered the Americas Zone, with the winner going on to compete in the Inter-Zonal Final against the winner of the Europe Zone.[1] Australia defeated United States in the final, and went on to face Germany in the Inter-Zonal Final.[2]
