Outcomes

• Malaysia and Vietnam are promoted to Asia/Oceania Zone Group II in 2016
• Cambodia, Hong Kong, Syria and Turkmenistan remain in Asia/Oceania Zone Group III in 2016
• Qatar and Saudi Arabia are relegated to Asia/Oceania Zone Group IV in 2016. However, it was later decided by the Davis Cup Committee that Asia/Oceania Zone Group III would be expanded from eight teams to nine in 2016, and Qatar's relegation was therefore overturned.
