Summer & Winter County Cups

The Summer and Winter County Cups are two of the biggest team competitions in the domestic tennis calendar, giving players the chance to represent their county at the highest level. County Week, dating back to 1895, is a week-long summer event where counties battle for promotion in a league-style format, with the top teams competing in Group 1 – the premier division. The Winter County Cup follows a similar structure but is played over a shorter, three-day weekend at venues across the country. Both events are open to players aged 14 and over, with teams of up to 10 players selected by their counties. These prestigious competitions are a highlight of the season, showcasing the best talent and county pride in British tennis.
