The Western Suburbs Lawn Tennis Association was founded in late 1912 and is one of Sydney's most historic tennis clubs.  The club featured prominently on the Australian circuit and its members included many famous players over the years.

​Throughout the 1920s and 1930s the club featured at the very centre of the Australian tennis circuit.

Beginning with the "County of Cumberland" tournament, which was the mainstay of the Australian tennis circuit, the club hosted many important events and produced champions from the very beginning. 

The famous grass courts are still in use today and have continued to produce great players.
