The other court was built by Edward Guinness, 1st Earl of Iveagh in 1885 at his Earlsfort Terrace house (53°20′7.7″N 6°15′29.3″W / 53.335472°N 6.258139°W / 53.335472; -6.258139), located a few minutes' walk from St. Stephen's Green, Dublin.
Constructed of a brick exterior with a black marble interior, the court saw Tom Pettitt successfully defend his world championship against challenger Charles Saunders in 1890.
In 1998, after a plan was announced to permanently convert the court into a 320-seat music recital hall, these men joined their efforts and formed the Irish Real Tennis Association (IRTA).
After recruiting members and finding support from the Dublin International Sports Council, An Taisce, and the Irish Georgian Society, the IRTA issued legal and public relations challenges to the proposed conversion.
As of November 2007, the university has vacated the building, and the Office of Public Works is entering into discussions with the IRTA about restoring the court for an active real tennis venue.
