The Europe Zone was one of the two regional zones of the 1934 International Lawn Tennis Challenge.
10 teams entered the Europe Zone, with the winner going on to compete in the Inter-Zonal Final against the winner of the America Zone. Due to the large number of entries in Europe, a "Qualifying Round" system was introduced in order to better manage the number of teams competing. European teams which lost before the 1933 Europe Zone semifinals would play-off against each other for the right to compete in the 1934 Europe Zone main draw alongside the 1933 Europe Zone semifinalists and other non-European teams. 17 teams entered the Qualifying Rounds.
Australia defeated Czechoslovakia in the final, and went on to face the United States in the Inter-Zonal Final.
Qualifying draw
