History:
The US takes pride in
coming up with the world’s first national
governing body for tennis: the United States
National Lawn Tennis Association on May
21, 1881. As other national governing bodies,
the association was formed to harmonize
tennis rules and regulations, and to promote
advancement of the sport in the county.
In 1975, the association was named to what
it is know today, the United States Tennis
Association (USTA).
Membership in the
USTA extends to all 50 states, including
Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American
Samoa, and Guam. There are 17 geographical
sections in USTA, each maintaining a certain
level of autonomy, each with its own staff
to administer USTA programs, own tournament
schedules, and own rankings.
