1988 Davis Cup Asia/Oceania Zone

The Asia/Oceania Zone was one of the three zones of the regional Davis Cup competition in 1988.

In the Asia/Oceania Zone there were two different tiers, called groups, in which teams competed against each other to advance to the upper tier.

Group I[edit]

The winner of Group I was promoted to the following year's World Group. Teams who lost their respective first-round ties competed in the relegation play-off, with the winning team remaining in Group I, whereas the losing team was relegated to the Asia/Oceania Zone Group II in 1989.^[1]
