International Tennis Hall of Fame

The International Tennis Hall of Fame at the Newport Casino combines authentic sporting history with active public play. The club is best known for its pristine grass tennis courts, which are among the few competition-grade lawn courts open to the public in North America. Alongside the 13 grass courts, the facility features indoor hard courts and clay surfaces, allowing year-round competition regardless of coastal Rhode Island weather. Players range from local league regulars to traveling tennis purists seeking the fast bounce and low skidding pace of traditional lawn tennis. Court reservations can be booked online or through the pro shop, with the grass season typically running from May through October. Historic shingle-style pavilions frame the grounds, providing a distinctive backdrop for afternoon matches, adult drills, and junior development clinics. It remains a vibrant athletic community on the original grounds of the first U.S. National Championships.
