1998 Davis Cup Europe/Africa Zone Group IV

The Group IV tournament was held in two locations. Eight teams met January 28 - February 1 in Kampala, Uganda (clay courts), and played a tournament of the same format as used in Group III (they were divided into two round-robin pools, from which the top two advanced to a promotion play-off). Five other teams met May 6-10 in Ndola, Zambia, (clay courts), and played a simple round-robin tournament.[1]
