1975 Davis Cup Eastern Zone

Main article: 1975 Davis Cup

The Eastern Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1975 Davis Cup.

10 teams entered the Eastern Zone: 4 teams entered the competition in the qualifying rounds, with the winners of the 2 head-to-head ties progressing to the preliminary rounds, where they were joined by an additional 4 teams. From the 6 competing teams in the preliminary rounds, 3 head-to-head ties determined the winning teams who progressed to the main draw, joining the remaining 3 teams. Following a knockout competition, the winner of the main draw went on to compete in the Inter-Zonal Zone against the winners of the Americas Zone and Europe Zone. ^[1]

Australia defeated New Zealand in the final and progressed to the Inter-Zonal Zone. ^[2]
