1981 Davis Cup Europe Zone
{{main|1981 Davis Cup}}
The Europe Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1981 Davis Cup.
23 teams entered the Europe Zone in total, split across two sub-zones. With the introduction of a new tiered format, the previous year's sub-zonal semifinalists bypassed Zonal competition and qualified directly for the new 16-team World Group. The remaining teams would now compete for two places in the following year's World Group.{{cite web |title=ITF Events - Davis Cup |url=https://www.itftennis.com/about/itf-events/davis-cup.aspx |website=itftennis.com |publisher=International Tennis Federation |accessdate=12 November 2019 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20191112195458/https://www.itftennis.com/about/itf-events/davis-cup.aspx |archivedate=12 November 2019 |url-status=live}}{{cite web |title=Davis Cup History |url=https://www.daviscup.com/en/organisation/davis-cup-history.aspx |website=daviscup.com |accessdate=12 November 2019 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20191112195331/https://www.daviscup.com/en/organisation/davis-cup-history.aspx |archivedate=12 November 2019 |url-status=live}}{{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=495–506|edition=2nd}}
