The 1992 Davis Cup was the 81st edition of the most important tournament between national teams in men's tennis. Due to increased entries, the tournament was expanded to add a Group III in all zones, with promotion and relegation between it and Group II. A total of 92 nations participated in the tournament. In the final, the United States defeated Switzerland at the Tarrant County Center in Fort Worth, Texas, United States, on 4–6 December.

  • Austria, CIS, Cuba, Denmark, and India promoted to World Group in 1993.
  • Germany, Netherlands, and Spain remain in World Group in 1993.
  • Israel (EA), South Korea (AO), and Uruguay (AMN) remain in Group I in 1993.
  • Argentina (AMN), Belgium (EA), Canada (AMN), Great Britain (EA), and Yugoslavia (EA) relegated to Group I in 1993.
  • Group III

    Group III consisted of two round-robin groups of four teams each. The top team from each pool was promoted to Group II for the following year. All matches were played March 20-22 in San Salvador, El Salvador, on outdoor clay courts. Each tie consisted of two singles rubbers and one doubles rubber, while each rubber was best-of-three sets. This became the standard format for the lower tiers of Davis Cup play (that is, Groups III and IV in all three zones), except that groups of eight or more would normally be divided into two separate round-robin pools.
