The qualifying process for the 1955 Thomas Cup took place from 27 June 1954 to 6 May 1955 to decide the final teams which will play in the final tournament.
Qualification process Previously, the qualification process was divided into three regions, the Pacific Zone, the American Zone and the European Zone. More countries competed in qualifying for the Cup, resulting in the process being divided into four regions, the Asian Zone, the American Zone, the European Zone and the Australasian Zone.
Teams in their respective zone will compete in a knockout format. Teams will compete for two days, with two singles and doubles played on the first day and three singles and two doubles played on the next day. The teams that win their respective zone will earn a place in the final tournament to be held in Singapore.
Malaya were the champions of the last Thomas Cup, therefore the team automatically qualified for the inter-zone play-offs.
