The Europe Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1972 Davis Cup.

33 teams entered the Europe Zone, competing across 2 sub-zones. The winners of each sub-zone went on to compete in the Inter-Zonal Zone against the winners of the Americas Zone and Eastern Zone.[1]

Romania defeated the Soviet Union in the Zone A final, and Spain defeated Czechoslovakia in the Zone B final, resulting in both Romania and Spain progressing to the Inter-Zonal Zone.[1][2][3]
