1971 Davis Cup Europe Zone

The Europe Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1971 Davis Cup.

30 teams entered the Europe Zone, competing across 2 sub-zones. The winners of each sub-zone went on to compete in the Inter-Zonal Zone against the winners of the Americas Zone and Eastern Zone.[1]

Czechoslovakia defeated Romania in the Zone A final, and West Germany defeated Spain in the Zone B final, resulting in both Czechoslovakia and Romania progressing to the Inter-Zonal Zone.[1][2][3]
