Season summary
The women's amateur tennis seasons covers a period of thirty five years from 1876 to 1912. During this period there was no single international organization responsible for overseeing tennis. At the very start in tennis history lawn tennis clubs themselves organized events and some like the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in England (f.1877) and the Fitzwilliam Lawn Tennis Club, Ireland (f.1879) generally oversaw tennis in their respective countries.
This would later change when tennis players started (those that could) traveling the world to compete in events organized by individual national lawn tennis associations (NLTA)s, the oldest of which then was the United States Lawn Tennis Association (f. 1881). Certain countries that did not establish a national association until later, had provincial, regional or state lawn tennis associations overseeing tournaments in a province, region or state within a country, such as the Northern Lawn Tennis Association in Manchester, England (f.1880),[2] had responsibility for coordinating tournaments staged by clubs in the North of England region. In Australia the Victorian Lawn Tennis Association (f.1904) organised tournaments in the state of Victoria, Australia.
In 1878 only two tournaments for women were staged one of them in Ireland. At the third edition of South of Ireland Championships in Limerick the singles event was won by a Miss Smith.[3] In the United States the Ladies Club for Outdoor Sports and offshoot of the Staten Island Crocket and Baseball Club,[4] Camp Washington, New Brighton, New York City organized a women's event at the combined Staten Island Crocket and Baseball Club Tournament.
In Japan in 1878 a Ladies' Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club (LLTCC) was founded at Yamate Park by British ladies expatriates living in the foreign settlement in Yokohama made history by forming the first genuine tennis club in Japan.[5] At the 1878 Wimbledon Championships the world's first major tennis tournament, it still remained an all men's event, no women's events were staged.
In 1913 the International Lawn Tennis Federation was created, that consisted of national member associations. The ILTF through its associated members then became responsible for supervising women's tour events.
