The South of Ireland Open Tennis Championship originally called the South of Ireland Championships first established in 1877 and also known as the Limerick Cup is a grass court tennis tournament that features both men's and women's competitions that is currently an official tour event of Tennis Ireland. It is held at the Limerick Lawn Tennis Club in Limerick, County Limerick, Ireland.[1] The championships is Worlds Second Oldest surviving tennis tournament after Wimbledon [2] but the only event to have been staged continuously for the last 141 years.[3]

History

Limerick Lawn Tennis Club was first established in 1877 in Limerick, County Limerick, Ireland.[4] The same year the club staged the first Open Championships in Ireland in August 1877 one month after the Wimbledon Championships were inaugurated, the results of that tournament were however not recorded.[4] It was not until 1879 that the first Irish Lawn Tennis Championships were staged at the Fitzwilliam Tennis Club in Dublin.[4]

In 1878 the first South of Ireland Championships also known as the Limerick Cup were founded [5] the men's event was won by Veere St Leger Goold.[5][4] The event featured both men's and women's singles and doubles competitions and was the first notable tournament in Great Britain and Ireland to feature a woman's competition seven years before the Wimbledon Championships followed suit.[4] In 1881 the reigning Wimbledon Champion William Renshaw and his twin brother Ernest Renshaw entered the doubles competition.[4] Between 1884 and 1885 no women's event were staged.[4] The 1885 and 1886 editions were won by future Wimbledon Champion Willoughby Hamilton.[4]

Between 1911 and 1912 the championships were won by Irishman Frank Cosbie.[5] With the advent of World War One the championships were still held from 1914 and 1919.[3] Post war the championships were won again by Irish Lawn Tennis Championships finalist Frank Cosbie three times consecutively 1924 to 1926.[5] The tournament was still staged during World War Two from 1939 to 1945.[3] Post war the 1953 championships were won by American player Ellis Williamson.[5] In 1975 the men's championships were won Michael. P. Hickey who played in 21 Davis Cup competitions as part of the Irish Team.[4] British player Ross Matheson won the event in 1991, 1994 and 1996.[4] Into the 2000s Brian McCarthy was probably the most successful player he won the championships in (2010,2014) and reached the finals on four occasions (2010–11, 2013–16).

The tournament was part of the pre-open era men's tennis tour from 1878 to 1967.[5] Into the Open Era it did not survive as a tour tournament on the lucrative Grand Prix tennis circuit but did remain a fixture on the International Tennis Federation circuit for a short while until the mid-1990s. The tournament was downgraded again to regional status and continues to operate within the annual tennis tournament circuit of Tennis Ireland. The championships were staged in June 2018 which was the 141st edition of this tournament it was won by James Halas.[6]
