Edit links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Main article: 2018 Davis Cup

The Europe/Africa Zone was one of the three zones of the regional Davis Cup competition in 2018.

In the Europe/Africa Zone there were three different tiers, called groups, in which teams competed against each other to advance to the upper tier. Winners in Group II advanced to the Europe/Africa Zone Group I. Teams who lost their respective ties competed in the relegation play-offs, with winning teams remaining in Group II, whereas European and African teams who lost their play-offs were relegated respectively to the Europe and Africa Zone Group III in 2019.
