1972 Davis Cup Americas Zone

Main article: 1972 Davis Cup

The Americas Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1972 Davis Cup.

11 teams entered the Americas Zone: 4 teams competed in the North & Central America Zone, while 7 teams competed in the South America Zone. The winner of each sub-zone would play against each other to determine who moved to the Inter-Zonal Zone to compete against the winners of the Eastern Zone and Europe Zone.[1]

The United States defeated Mexico in the North & Central America Zone final, and Chile defeated Brazil in the South America Zone final.[2][3] In the Americas Inter-Zonal Final, the United States defeated Chile and progressed to the Inter-Zonal Zone.[4]
