1981 Davis Cup Europe Zone


The Europe Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1981 Davis Cup.
23 teams entered the Europe Zone in total, split across two sub-zones. With the introduction of a new tiered format, the previous year's sub-zonal semifinalists bypassed Zonal competition and qualified directly for the new 16-team World Group. The remaining teams would now compete for two places in the following year's World Group.
Spain defeated Hungary in the Zone A final, and the Soviet Union defeated the Netherlands in the Zone B final, resulting in both Spain and the Soviet Union being promoted to the 1982 World Group.
