1967 Davis Cup America Zone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The America Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1967 Davis Cup.

7 teams entered the America Zone: 4 teams competed in the North & Central America Zone, while 3 teams competed in the South America Zone. The winner of each sub-zone would play against each other to determine who moved to the Inter-Zonal Zone to compete against the winners of the Eastern Zone and Europe Zone.[1]

The United States defeated Mexico in the North & Central America Zone final, and Ecuador defeated Argentina in the South America Zone final.[2][3] In the Americas Inter-Zonal Final, Ecuador defeated the United States and progressed to the Inter-Zonal Zone.[4]
