Wangaratta Lawn Tennis Club

Wangaratta Lawn Tennis Club sits in Merriwa Park in the centre of Wangaratta, Victoria. The club formed there in 1925, with roots going back to 1894, and began with five courts that opened for play in 1926. It now has 20 grass courts, and the clubhouse retains its original building, completed in 1941, with a later extension at the western end.

The annual tournament is held on the Australia Day weekend in January, with the 100th edition due in 2026. Rex Hartwig, a member of Australia’s Davis Cup teams in the 1950s, is among the players who have competed on its grass. A 172-page club history was published in 2011.
