The Seabright Invitational Tournament [1] also known as the Seabright Invitation [2] was a men's and women's grass court tennis tournament staged annually at the Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club, Rumson, New Jersey, United States from 1884 to 1950. [3]
The Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club is a historic private sports club in Rumson, Monmouth County, New Jersey in the United States. [3] It was founded in 1877 and incorporated officially in 1886. [3] In 1884, the club held its first Seabright Invitational Tournament, [4] [5] the men's singles was won Joseph Sill Clark Sr. [3] The tournament continued to be staged annually until 1889 when it was discontinued. [3]
In 1894 the tournament was reestablished, and in 1920 a permanent women's event was finally added to the schedule. [4] The event was suspended from 1943 to 1945 because of World War II. [3] It resumed in 1946 and continued to be held until 1949. [3] In 1950, the organizing committee of Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club voted to discontinue the event, [3] due to ongoing cost of the maintenance of the grass courts, and the budget needed to build new permanent spectator seating made it untenable. [3] Contrary to official sources the other reason the tournament was ended was not because of funding, but because the members grew tired of the fuss of organizing the event. [6]
