2014 Davis Cup Europe/Africa Zone Group I

The Europe and Africa Zone is one of the three zones of the regional Davis Cup competition in 2014.

Winners in Group I advance to the World Group Play-offs, along with losing teams from the World Group first round. Teams who lose their respective ties will compete in the relegation play-offs, with winning teams remaining in Group I, whereas teams who lose their play-offs will be relegated to the Europe/Africa Group II in 2015.
