The 1934 International Lawn Tennis Challenge was the 29th edition of what is now known as the Davis Cup.
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 four spots in the 1934 Europe Zone main draw.
In the America Inter-Zonal Final the United States received a walkover due to Brazil's absence, while in the Europe Zone final Australia defeated Czechoslovakia.
The United States defeated Australia in the Inter-Zonal play-off, but would fall to Great Britain in the Challenge Round.
