Main article: 1959 Davis Cup

The America Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1959 Davis Cup.

7 teams entered the America Zone: 3 teams competed in the North & Central America Zone, while 4 teams competed in the South America Zone. The winner of each sub-zone would play against each other to determine who moved to the Inter-Zonal Zone to compete against the winners of the Eastern Zone and Europe Zone.[1]

Australia defeated Canada in the North & Central America Zone final, and Cuba received a walkover in the South America Zone final after Argentina withdrew.[2][3] In the Americas Inter-Zonal Final, Australia defeated Cuba and progressed to the Inter-Zonal Zone.[4]
