Having advanced through the round-robin stages at the Europe/Africa Zone Group III event in Cairo, Ireland failed to reach Group II after a 2-1 loss to Tunisia in the play-offs. Nour Abbes and Ons Jabeur both recorded singles wins for Tunisia to put the tie beyond doubt before the Irish doubles duo of Amy Bowtell and Jenny Claffey claimed a consolation point.
