About the club

Welcome to Newry Tennis Club

Established 1880 — one of the oldest tennis clubs on the island of Ireland, and still one of the friendliest.

Who we are

A club built on community

Newry Tennis Club was established in 1880 and has been a cornerstone of sport and community life in Newry ever since. We are a friendly, inclusive club that welcomes players of all ages and abilities.

Whether you're a complete beginner picking up a racket for the first time, a parent looking for coaching for your children, or an experienced player looking for competitive league tennis — there's a place for you here.

Our courts are well maintained and available to members throughout the week. We run a full programme of coaching, leagues, social events and competitions across the year.

We are affiliated with Tennis Ireland and Ulster Tennis, and our coaching staff hold recognised qualifications.

The club today

What makes us special

At Newry Tennis Club, we pride ourselves on being more than just a tennis club. We're a community. Our members range from juniors just starting out to seasoned seniors who've been playing here for decades.

We run regular social events throughout the year, giving members a chance to get to know each other off the court as well as on it.

Our junior programme is particularly strong — we believe in introducing young people to tennis early, and our qualified coaches make every session enjoyable as well as educational.
