[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] 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.
[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.
