2005 Davis Cup Americas Zone Group I

Main article: 2005 Davis Cup Americas Zone

The Americas Zone was one of the three zones of the regional Davis Cup competition in 2005.

In the Americas Zone there were four different tiers, called groups, in which teams competed against each other to advance to the upper tier. Winners in Group I advanced to the World Group qualifying round, along with losing teams from the World Group first round. Teams who lost their respective ties competed in the relegation play-offs, with winning teams remaining in Group I, whereas teams who lost their play-offs were relegated to the Americas Zone Group II in 2006.
