The 1966 Davis Cup was the 55th edition of the Davis Cup, the most important tournament between national teams in men's tennis. 32 teams entered the Europe Zone, 8 teams entered the Eastern Zone, and 6 teams entered the America Zone.
For this year's competition the Europe Zone was split into two sub-zones. 16 teams competed in each sub-zone, with the winners of both sub-zones progressing to the Inter-Zonal Zone. This meant that 4 teams would now compete in the Inter-Zonal Zone for the right to challenge the defending champions Australia.[1]
In the Inter-Zonal Zone, India defeated West Germany and Brazil defeated the United States in the semifinals, and then India defeated Brazil in the final. India was then defeated by Australia in the Challenge Round. The final was played at Kooyong Stadium in Melbourne, Australia on 26–28 December.[1][2][3]
