The Americas Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1980 Davis Cup.

12 teams entered the Americas Zone in total, split across the North & Central America and the South America Zones. The winner of each sub-zone advanced to the Americas Inter-Zonal Final, with the winner going on to compete in the Inter-Zonal Zone against the winners of the Eastern Zone and Europe Zone.[1]

The United States defeated Mexico in the North & Central America Zone final, and Argentina defeated Brazil in the South America Zone final.[2][3] In the Americas Inter-Zonal Final Argentina defeated the United States and progressed to the Inter-Zonal Zone.[4]
