Main article: 1973 Davis Cup

31 teams entered the Europe Zone, competing across 2 sub-zones. 14 teams competed in the preliminary rounds, with the winners progressing to the main draw and joining the remaining 17 teams. 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 Czechoslovakia defeated Italy in the Zone B final, resulting in both Romania and Czechoslovakia progressing to the Inter-Zonal Zone.[1][2][3]
