The Eastern Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1974 Davis Cup. 11 teams entered the Eastern Zone, with 9 teams competing in the preliminary round to join the previous year's finalists Australia and India in the main draw. The winner of the main draw went on to compete in the Inter-Zonal Zone against the winners of the Americas Zone and Europe Zone.[1] India defeated Australia in the final and progressed to the Inter-Zonal Zone.[2] With a total of 327 games, the Eastern Zone final set the Davis Cup record for the most games in a tie, still standing as of 2019.[3]
