2015 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 2015.

Main article: 2015 Davis Cup

In the Europe and Africa Zone there are four different groups in which teams compete against each other to advance to the next group. 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 2016.
