2009 Davis Cup Europe/Africa Zone Group III

The European and African Zone is one of the three zones of regional Davis Cup competition in 2009.

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

Format edit

The fourteen teams will be divided into two sections, Section A and Section B. There will be a round robin with eight teams in each section. The eight nations will be divided into two pools of four. The top two teams in each pool will advance to the Final Pool of four teams from which the two highest-placed nations are promoted to Europe and Africa Group II in 2010. The bottom two teams or the bottom team of each pool of the two round robins will compete against each other in the Relegation Pool. The lowest-placed nations are relegated to Europe and Africa Group IV in 2010.
