The Northern Lawn Tennis Club, or simply The Northern, is a members-owned sporting club in West Didsbury, Manchester. It was home to the prestigious Northern Championships, considered one of the most important tournaments in the world for many years (the others being Wimbledon, the U.S. National championships and the Irish Championships).[1][2][3] It was later the venue for the Manchester Trophy (the successor to that former event), which was played on the International Tennis Federation (ITF) Women's Circuit.
