The 2012 Davis Cup Europe and Africa Zone Group II was the second level of competition in the Europe and Africa Zone, one of the three zones of regional Davis Cup competition. The group featured a total of 16 teams competing against each other in a direct elimination tournament format.

The eight winners of the first round advanced to the playoffs, where they competed for promotion to Euro-African Group I. In contrast, the four losers of the first round were relegated to Group III. This relegation system ensured that the top-performing teams would advance to higher-level competition, while those struggling would be demoted.

The group stage consisted of a series of matches played in two rounds: the first round and the second round. The winners of each match advanced to the next round, with the losers being relegated to Group III. In the playoffs, the top four teams from the first round competed against each other for promotion to Euro-African Group I.

The final standings saw Ukraine emerge as one of the top-performing teams in the group, advancing to the playoffs alongside Cyprus and Hungary. Latvia also advanced after defeating Egypt in their second-round match. Belarus and Bosnia-Herzegovina secured spots in the playoffs through their respective wins over Moldova and Turkey.

In contrast, Monaco, Morocco, Ireland, Estonia, Poland, and Luxembourg were relegated to Group III following their losses in the first round or subsequent matches. The relegation of these teams ensured that they would face stiffer competition in future tournaments, while those advancing to higher-level groups would have a better chance at success.

The 2012 Davis Cup Europe and Africa Zone Group II marked an important milestone for several Cypriot athletes, including those competing on behalf of Cyprus against Morocco.
