The Europe/Africa Zone was one of the three zones of the regional Davis Cup competition in 2005.
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 Smash Tennis Academy, Cairo, Egypt, April 27–May 1, on outdoor clay courts, while the other was held in Fitzwilliam Lawn Tennis Club, Dublin, Ireland, July 13–17, on outdoor grass courts.
Format The eight teams in the Cairo 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 2006. The bottom two teams of each group were placed in the relegation pool, from which the two bottom teams were demoted to the Europe/Africa Zone Group IV in 2006.
