Welcome to the Association
of Centenary Tennis Clubs

OFFICIAL ORGANIZATION AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PARTNER

The Association of Centenary Tennis Clubs (CTC) is an umbrella group of clubs of more than 100 years old, including some of the most prestigious clubs in the sport.

Initially founded by eight clubs as a pan-european association, we now have an extensive and truly global membership and are recognised by the International Tennis Federation (ITF). From the original eight members, the CTC has grown to become a truly global organisation and in 2024 is comprised of eighty-nine affiliated clubs in twenty four countries and on four continents.

“All member clubs have a history dating back at least one hundred years, and have played a significant sporting tradition and social role in their communities.”

Our aim at CTC is to uphold the traditions of tennis, as well as the spirit of fair play which is inherent to this great sport.

We look to achieve this through organising competitions and other sporting and cultural events; arranging tennis workshops and seminars; and generally supporting the activities of member clubs around the world. We also strongly encourage the development young talent. We give our support to a range of junior events, and seek to foster the future stars of the sport. This website gives some more information on our activities and competitions, as well as details of our member clubs.
