# 1935 International Lawn Tennis Challenge Europe Zone

The Europe Zone was one of the two regional zones of the 1935 International Lawn Tennis Challenge.
Due to increased political tensions in Europe, entries for the Europe Zone declined sharply, causing the Qualifying Round system to be scrapped. 11 teams entered the Europe Zone, with the winner going on to compete in the Inter-Zonal Final against the winner of the America Zone; 17 teams entering the qualifying rounds. Germany defeated Czechoslovakia in the final, and went on to face the United States in the Inter-Zonal Final.
