1981 Davis Cup Eastern Zone

The Eastern Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1981 Davis Cup.

Main article: 1981 Davis Cup

6 teams entered the Eastern Zone in total. With the introduction of a new tiered format, the previous year's semifinalists bypassed Zonal competition and qualified directly for the new 16-team World Group. The remaining teams would now compete for a place in the following year's World Group.[1][2][3]

India defeated Indonesia in the final and qualified for the 1982 World Group.[4]
