1996 Davis Cup Americas Zone Group III

The Americas Zone was one of the three zones of the regional Davis Cup competition 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 III advanced to the Americas Zone Group II in 1997. In a move to a four-tier system, the bottom three teams were re-assigned to the new Group IV in 1997; all other teams remained in Group III.
