The competition was scheduled to start on Friday, 10 August but was postponed until Saturday in observance of a day of mourning for U.S. President Warren G. Harding. As there was no play on Sunday the event was concluded on Monday, 13 August.[3] The inaugural competition was played as the opening match of the newly constructed tennis stadium at the West Side Tennis Club.[4] The United States team won the inaugural cup by winning all seven matches.[3][4][5][6]
