In the Europe/Africa Zone there were four different tiers, called groups, in which teams competed against each other to advance to the upper tier. Group III was split into two tournaments. One tournament was held in Tennis Club Lokomotiv, Plovdiv, Bulgaria, April 9–13, on outdoor clay courts, while the other was held in Master Class Tennis and Fitness Club, Yerevan, Armenia, May 7–11, also on outdoor clay courts.[14]

The top two teams were promoted to the Europe/Africa Zone Group II in 2009. The bottom two teams were demoted to the Europe/Africa Zone Group IV in 2009.[14]
