2006 Davis Cup Europe/Africa Zone Group II

Main article: 2006 Davis Cup Europe/Africa Zone

The European and African Zone was one of the three zones of regional Davis Cup competition in 2006.

In the Europe/Africa Zone there were four 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 teams who lost their play-offs were relegated to the Europe/Africa Zone Group III in 2007.[1]
