International Tennis Federation




It was established as the International Lawn Tennis Federation (ILTF) by 12 national associations meeting at a conference in Paris , France on 1 March 1913 . In 1924 it became the officially recognised organisation with authority to control lawn tennis throughout the world, with official 'ILTF Rules of Tennis'. In 1977 it dropped the word 'lawn' from its tiltle, recognising that most tennis was not played on Grass .

Originally based in Paris, it moved to Roehampton in south-west London , UK during World War II , where it has remained.

The ITF operates the two major national team competitions in the sport, the Davis Cup for men and the Fed Cup for women.

Its official annual is The ITF Year , describing the activities of the ITF over last 12 months. This replaced World Of Tennis .
