The tournament was organised by the Sunderland Lawn Tennis Club officially founded (f.1900), however that club was established as early as 1883 as the tennis section of the Ashbrooke Sports Club (f.1830). The club remains an affiliated club of the Ashbrooke Sports Club (first established in 1830, formally registered in 1887),[7] and the tournament was sanctioned by the County Durham Lawn Tennis Association today known as Durham and Cleveland Lawn Tennis Association (DCLTA).[8] The DCLTA administers tournaments today that cover County Durham, Tees Valley Combined Authority, Sunderland, Gateshead, South Tyneside.
