2018 Fed Cup Americas Zone Group I – Pool B

Last updated March 05, 2019

Pool B of the 2018 Fed Cup Americas Zone Group I was one of two pools in the Americas zone of the 2018 Fed Cup. Four teams competed in a round robin competition, with the top team and the bottom team proceeding to their respective sections of the play-offs: the top team played for advancement to the World Group II Play-offs, while the bottom team faced potential relegation to Group II.^[1]

The 2018 Fed Cup is the 56th edition of the most important tournament between national teams in women's tennis. The 2018 Fed Cup was expected to feature some structural changes, including a 16-team World Group and the introduction of a Final Four event at a neutral, predetermined location. However, the ITF announced shortly before their annual meeting that they were tabling a vote on the changes for at least one year.

The play-offs of the 2018 Fed Cup Americas Zone Group I were the final stages of the Group I Zonal Competition involving teams from the Americas. Using the positions determined in their pools, the seven teams faced off to determine their placing in the 2018 Fed Cup Americas Zone Group I. The winner of the promotion play-off advanced to World Group II Play-offs, and the losers of the relegation play-off were relegated down to the Americas Zone Group II.

The 2018 World Group II Play-offs are four ties which involves the losing nations of the World Group II and four nations from the three Zonal Group I competitions. Nations that win their play-off ties enter the 2019 World Group II, while losing nations join their respective zonal groups.
