1985 Davis Cup Europe Zone

The Europe Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1985 Davis Cup.

Main article: 1985 Davis Cup

27 teams entered the Europe Zone in total, split across two sub-zones. The winner of each sub-zone was promoted to the following year's World Group.[1]

Denmark defeated Romania in the Zone A final, and Great Britain defeated Israel in the Zone B final, resulting in both Denmark and Great Britain being promoted to the 1986 World Group.[2][3]
