The 1954 Davis Cup was the 43rd edition of the most important tournament between national teams in men's tennis. The Eastern Zone was abandoned for this year, and India moved to the Europe Zone. 30 teams would enter the competition, 23 in the Europe Zone and 7 in the Americas Zone. The first-round tie between Egypt and Turkey was held in Cairo, marking the first time that a tie had been played on the African continent.

The United States defeated Mexico in the Americas Zone final, and Sweden defeated France in the Europe Zone final. In the Inter-Zonal Zone, the USA defeated Sweden. The USA defeated defending champions Australia in the Challenge Round, ending Australia's four-year run at the top. The final was played at White City Stadium in Sydney, Australia on 27–29 December.[1]
