British Covered Court Championships

The British Covered Court Championships (BCCC) was an indoor tennis event held from 1885 through 1971 and played in London, England.

For its first five years the tournament was held at the Hyde Park Lawn Tennis Club in Porchester Square, London and consisted only of a men's singles competition.

[5] The women's doubles event was added to the tournament in 1934 and renamed to The National Covered Court Championships.

[6] From its inception, it grew into an important event through the first half of the 20th century, but by the late 1950s, its stature had diminished greatly and in 1966, they couldn't find a sponsor.

With several top players who were part of the World Championship Tennis circuit barred from competition in 1972 and no sponsors to be found, the tournament was discontinued.
