Next tie 2014
Romania will find out its opponents for its 2014 Europe/Africa Zone Group I first round clash later on this year.
Last tie 5-7 April 2013
With a place in the World Group play-offs up for grabs, Romania suffered a heavy 5-0 defeat at the hands of Netherlands. Romania lost two closely contested rubbers on the opening day, meaning they had a lot of work to do if they were to win the tie, and, when Netherlands won the doubles, it was all over. Following that defeat, Romania will stay in Zone Group I for another year.
History
Romania finished runner-up three times - in 1969, 1971 and 1972 - and lost to USA in the Final on each occasion. Only Romania, Argentina and India have contested more than one Final without being crowned champion.
