1976 Davis Cup Europe Zone


The Europe Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1976 Davis Cup.
32 teams entered the Europe Zone, competing across 2 sub-zones. 7 teams entered the competition in the pre-qualifying rounds, competing for 3 spots in the preliminary rounds. The 3 winners in the pre-qualifying rounds joined an additional 21 teams in the preliminary rounds, with 12 teams in each sub-zone competing for 4 places in the main draw, to join the 4 finalists from the 1975 Europe Zone.
The winners of each sub-zone's main draw went on to compete in the Inter-Zonal Zone against the winners of the Americas Zone and Eastern Zone.
The Soviet Union defeated Hungary in the Zone A final, and Italy defeated Great Britain in the Zone B final, resulting in both the Soviet Union and Italy progressing to the Inter-Zonal Zone.
