1997 Davis Cup Americas Zone Group III
Main article: 1997 Davis Cup Americas Zone
The Group III tournament was held concurrently with the inaugural Group IV tournament, April 29 - May 3, in Southampton, Bermuda, on outdoor hard courts. The eight teams were divided into two round-robin pools. The top two teams from each pool advanced to a promotion pool, while the bottom two were placed in a relegation pool. In contrast to earlier (and later) practice, the promotion and relegation pools took the form of play-off brackets, instead of using round-robin play.[1]
