The Hobart Real Tennis Club is one of the oldest sporting clubs in the Southern hemisphere,[citation needed] having been founded in 1875.[1] The court is located on Davey Street in Hobart, Tasmania. It is the oldest real tennis club in Australia and one of the oldest existing clubs in the real tennis world.[1][2]
Hobart hosted the international biennial Bathurst Cup in 1985, 1999 and 2015,[3] and has also held the Australian Open tournament for real tennis on several occasions since the mid 1990s.[4] It was the first home court of twelve-time world champion player, Robert Fahey.[5]
