The Europe/Africa Zone was one of three zones of regional competition in the 2003 Fed Cup.
Group I
editThe seventeen teams were divided into three pools of four teams and one pool of five. The top teams of each pool played-off against the second-placed teams to decide which four nations progress to World Group play-offs. The four nations coming last in the pools were relegated to Group II for 2004.
