Qualification process
editThe qualification process is divided into four regions, the Asian Zone, the American Zone, the European Zone and the Australasian Zone. Teams in their respective zone will compete in a knockout format. Three singles and four doubles will be played on the day of competition. The teams that win their respective zone will earn a place in the final tournament to be held in New Zealand.[1]
The winners of the 1963 Uber Cup, the United States were exempted from the qualifying rounds and automatically qualified for the challenge round. Therefore, Canada automatically qualified for the final tournament since there was no other opponent in the American zone qualifiers.
