The qualifying process for the 1972 Uber Cup took place from 27 July 1971 to 11 March 1972 to decide the final teams which will play in the final tournament.

Qualification process

The qualification process is divided into four regions, the Asian Zone, the American Zone, the European Zone and the Australasian Zone. Teams in their respective zone will compete in a knockout format. Three singles and four doubles will be played on the day of competition.
