View source for 1996 Davis Cup Asia/Oceania Zone Group I

{{Main|1996 Davis Cup Asia/Oceania Zone}}

The '''Asia/Oceania Zone''' was one of the three zones of the regional Davis Cup competition in 1996.

In the Asia/Oceania Zone there were three different tiers, called groups, in which teams competed against each other to advance to the upper tier. Winners in Group I advanced to the World Group qualifying round, along with losing teams from the World Group first round. Teams who lost their respective ties competed in the relegation play-offs, with winning teams remaining in Group I, whereas teams who lost their play-offs were relegated to the Asia/Oceania Zone Group II in 1997.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.daviscup.com/en/draws-results/historic-format/group-i/asia-oceania.aspx#/1996|title=1996 Asia/Oceania Group I|publisher=DavisCup.com|accessdate=11 June 2020}}</ref>
