Main article: 1932 International Lawn Tennis Challenge

8 teams entered the America Zone: 5 teams competed in the North & Central America Zone, while 3 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 Final to compete against the winner of the Europe Zone.[1]

The United States defeated Australia in the North & Central America Zone final, and Brazil, as the only competing team in the South America Zone, received a walkover.[2][3] In the Americas Inter-Zonal Final, the United States defeated Brazil and went on to face Germany in the Inter-Zonal Final.[4]

gollark: If there's demand I could move the relay to skynet2 and add logging to that.
gollark: I mean, skynet1 has the relay hooked up to it and that sends chatlogs, so you can access them in a really inconvenient format if the relay ever gets rebooted.
