The Europe/Africa Zone was one of the three zones of the regional Davis Cup competition in 2002.
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 Arka TC, Gdynia, Poland, May 8–12, while the other was held in Antalya, Turkey, April 3–7.
Format Zambia withdrew from the Gdynia tournament and relegated to the Europe/Africa Zone Group IV in 2003. The seven remaining teams in the Gdynia 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 2003. The remaining teams in each group from the preliminary round were relegated into the relegation pool, from which the bottom team relegated to the Europe/Africa Zone Group IV in 2003.
