Welcome to the International Lawn Tennis Club of Monaco
"Hands across the net, friendship across the ocean "

Qu’est-ce que l’International Lawn Tennis Club ?

Le premier « International Lawn Tennis Club » (ou « International Club » ou ILTC) fut celui de Grande-Bretagne, fondé en 1924 par le très grand journaliste de tennis A. Wallis Myers, sur la suggestion de l’ex-premier ministre de Sa Majesté Britannique Lord Balfour. Cet homme d’état anglais, fervent amateur de tennis, avait compris combien le sport en général et le tennis en particulier, d’abord merveilleux moyens d’éducation de la jeunesse, pouvaient aider en même temps à créer et développer des liens nouveaux entre les hommes de tous les pays.

Le but commun des ILTC est donc de maintenir et d’intensifier des liens étroits de camaraderie et d’amitié entre les membres de chaque ILTC d’une part, et entre les joueurs internationaux des divers pays membres, d’autre part. Par des rencontres amicales annuelles, ils s’efforcent d’améliorer les relations cordiales entre les différents pays du monde. Des compétitions dans plusieurs catégories d’âge existent et sont organisées chaque année par les pays qui le désirent. Contrairement aux rencontres amicales où les niveaux peuvent être disparates, ces épreuves sont généralement d’un haut niveau et l’inscription d’une équipe doit respecter ce critère

Pour être admis membre d’un ILTC, il faut avoir représenté son pays dans des rencontres internationales, ou bien avoir remporté un championnat national quelle que soit la catégorie (jeunes ou seniors), faire preuve sur un court de tennis et dans la vie d’éthique, de distinction et de fair-play. Des exceptions sont faites pour certains membres, qui bien que ne remplissant pas les critères de niveau de tennis, de sélection internationale pour un pays, ou de victoire d’un championnat national, peuvent être néanmoins admis dans l'ILTC parce qu'ils contribuent par leur action, à la promotion de notre sport et à la vie sociale du Club.

Après l’ILTC de Grande-Bretagne, d’autres ILTC furent créés successivement dans plusieurs pays. Ils sont 35 à ce jour dans le monde. Pour plus d’information, vous pouvez consulter le site de l’ILTC Council, conseil d’administration de tous les ILTC: http://www.ictennis.net//

L’ILTC de Monaco a été créé en 1979, comme vous pouvez le voir dans notre Historique.
