1987 Davis Cup Europe Zone

Main article: 1987 Davis Cup

The Europe Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1987 Davis Cup.

32 teams entered the Europe Zone in total, with 11 teams competing in the Africa Zone for 2 places in the Europe Zone main draws, joining an additional 21 teams. The winner of each sub-zone was then promoted to the following year's World Group.[1]

Switzerland defeated the Soviet Union in the Zone A final, and Denmark defeated Austria in the Zone B final, resulting in both Switzerland and Denmark being promoted to the 1988 World Group.[2][3]
