1977 Davis Cup Europe Zone

Main article: 1977 Davis Cup

The Europe Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1977 Davis Cup.

33 teams entered the Europe Zone, competing across 2 sub-zones. 8 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 1976 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.[1]

France defeated Romania in the Zone A final, and Italy defeated Spain in the Zone B final, resulting in both France and Italy progressing to the Inter-Zonal Zone.[1][2][3]
