EST. 1908

A long-standing community facility.

Founded in 1908, Lane Cove Tennis Club has been a cornerstone of the local sporting community for over a century. Our club has a history as long as the Sydney Rabbitohs and the Sydney Roosters. We are a member-driven, not-for-profit club run by a dedicated committee of volunteers. Every dollar we generate is reinvested into the club to maintain our courts, enhance facilities, and improve member experiences.
