The United States defeated Brazil in the America Inter-Zonal Final, after Brazil received two walkovers in the South America Zone, and then defeated Germany in the Inter-Zonal play-off. France defeated the US in the Challenge Round, giving them their sixth straight title. The final was played 29–31 July at Stade Roland Garros in Paris.{{cite book|author=Bud Collins|title=The Bud Collins History of Tennis|year=2010|publisher=New Chapter Press|location=[New York]|isbn=978-0942257700|pages=495–496, 499|edition=2nd}}{{cite book|title=The Encyclopedia of Tennis|year=1974|publisher=Allen & Unwin|location=London|isbn=0047960426|author=Max Robertson|page=384}}
