The Americas Zone was one of the three regional Davis Cup competition zones in 1996.
In the Americas Zone, there were three different tiers, called groups, in which teams competed against each other to advance to the upper tier. Winners in Group I advanced to the World Group qualifying round, along with losing teams from the World Group first round. Teams that lost their respective ties competed in the relegation play-offs, with the winning teams remaining in Group I. In contrast, teams who lost their play-offs were relegated to the Americas Zone Group II in 1997.
