2016 Davis Cup Europe/Africa Zone Group I

Main article: 2016 Davis Cup

The Europe/Africa Zone is one of the three zones of the regional Davis Cup competition in 2016.

In the Europe/Africa there are three different tiers, called groups, in which teams compete against each other to advance to the upper tier. 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 Zone Group II in 2017.
