Home / Events on 9 July / First Wimbledon tennis championship
The Wimbledon tennis championship was held for the first time on 9th July 1877. It was organised by the England Croquet Club and took place at the All England Croquet and Lawn Tennis Club.

The Wimbledon event was later recognised as the first Grand Slam and the world’s first official lawn tennis tournament.
