# 2004 Davis Cup Europe/Africa Zone Group IV – Zone B

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 IV was split into two tournaments. One tournament was held in Olympique Club de Dakar, Dakar, Senegal, February 4–8, on outdoor hard courts, while the other was held in Tennis Club Ali-Ten, Chișinău, Moldova, July 15–18, on outdoor clay courts.

## Format

The eight teams in the Chișinău tournament were split into two groups and played in a round-robin format. The top two teams of each group advanced to the promotion pool, from which the two top teams were promoted to the Europe/Africa Zone Group III in 2005. The bottom two teams of each group were placed in a second pool to determine places 5–8.
