1975 Davis Cup Americas Zone Explained

See main article: 1975 Davis Cup.

The Americas Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1975 Davis Cup.

12 teams entered the Americas Zone split across two sub-zones, the North & Central America Zone and the South America Zone. 9 teams played in the preliminary rounds, competing to advance to the main draw and join the remaining 3 teams which advanced to the main draw directly. The winners of each sub-zone main draw then played 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]

South Africa were declared winners of the North & Central America Zone by walkover after Colombia withdrew ahead of the final, while in the South America Zone Chile defeated Brazil in the final. In the Americas Inter-Zonal Final, Chile defeated South Africa and progressed to the Inter-Zonal Zone.
