The '''Americas Zone''' is one of the three regional zones of the [[2018 Davis Cup]].

In the Americas Zone there are three different tiers, called groups, in which teams competed against each other to advance to the upper tier. Winners in Group I advanced to the [[2018 Davis Cup World Group play-offs|World Group play-offs]], along with losing teams from the World Group first round. Teams who lost their respective ties competed in the relegation play-offs, with winning teams remaining in Group I, whereas teams who lost their play-offs were relegated to the Americas Zone Group II in 2019.
