The Club
Monkstown LTC is a friendly, family based tennis club – many people have contributed their energy and time over the years to develop the Club and it’s facilities into the “little bit of heaven” we enjoy today. Well done to all involved, it’s always been a real labour of love and everyone’s efforts are very much appreciated.
Here you can find out the origins of Monkstown Lawn Tennis Club in our History section, going back to 1877 and this page features the lovely pen and ink drawing of the clubhouse by Denis Cogan which has been on the Club website from the start.

Our Sub-Committees:
The Executive Committee could not function without the support and efforts of the countless sub-committees in the Club. So thanks are especially due to the team of people behind the scenes who support the Executive Team including our Tennis Committees, Junior Committees, Social Committees, Grounds teams, Lock-up Duty volunteers and all who organise the Men’s Morning, Ladies’ Morning and Club Night on a voluntary basis – well done to everyone, your efforts are what make the Club so special to us all.
