Switzerland at the 1956 Davis Cup could defeat Luxembourg in the first round but was left weak in front of France in the second round. Switzerland was not a strong contender and therefore it was not tough for France to defeat Switzerland and make a way to the next levels. Switzerland did not perform well and was therefore eliminated in the second round of the zonal finals and was not present anywhere in the scene for the year 1956.
