The Europe/Africa Zone was one of the three zones of the regional Davis Cup competition in 2004.

In the Europe/Africa Zone there were four different tiers, called groups, in which teams competed against each other to advance to the upper tier. Group III was split into two tournaments. One tournament was held in Namibia National Tennis Stadium, Windhoek, Namibia, May 12–16, on outdoor hard courts, while the other was held in Orange Tennis Centre, Kaunas, Lithuania, February 2–8, on indoor carpet courts.

Format

Azerbaijan withdrew from the Kaunas tournament and relegated to the Europe/Africa Zone Group IV in 2005. The seven remaining teams in the Kaunas tournament were split into two pools and played in a round-robin format. The top two teams of each pool advanced to the promotion pool, from which the two top teams were promoted to the Europe/Africa Zone Group II in 2005. The remaining teams in each group from the preliminary round were relegated into the relegation pool, from which the bottom team relegated to the Europe/Africa Zone Group IV in 2005.
