Main article: 1939 International Lawn Tennis Challenge

The America Zone was one of the two regional zones of the 1939 International Lawn Tennis Challenge.

7 teams entered the America Zone: 6 teams entered the North & Central America Zone, while 1 team entered the South America Zone. The winner of each sub-zone would play against each other to determine who moved to the Inter-Zonal Final to compete against the winner of the Europe Zone.[1]

Australia defeated Cuba in the North & Central America Zone final, and then received a walkover in the Americas Inter-Zonal final after Brazil, the only team in the South America Zone, withdrew.[2][3] Australia went on to face Yugoslavia in the Inter-Zonal Final.
