1964 Davis Cup Europe Zone

Main article: 1964 Davis Cup

The Europe Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1964 Davis Cup.

32 teams entered the Europe Zone, with the winner going on to compete in the Inter-Zonal Zone against the winners of the America Zone and Eastern Zone. With the increase in entries, the previous year's semifinalists were no longer granted byes into the second round, however seeding was still put in place to ensure that these countries could not meet before the semifinals.

Sweden defeated France in the final and progressed to the Inter-Zonal Zone. ^{[1] [2]}
