The Americas Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1968 Davis Cup.
9 teams entered the Americas Zone: 4 teams competed in the North & Central America Zone, while 5 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]
The United States defeated Mexico in the North & Central America Zone final, and Ecuador defeated Chile in the South America Zone final.[2][3] In the Americas Inter-Zonal Final, the United States defeated Ecuador and progressed to the Inter-Zonal Zone.[4]
