THE MRTC
Officially founded in 1907, the Mount Royal Tennis Club (the MRTC) actually dates back to the 1880s where it was first created at another location close by. As the oldest tennis club in the city, the MRTC has evolved to become one of the most exclusive tennis Clubs in Montreal.
Our Club’s history is a rich and storied one, punctuated with 25 Davis Cup Ties and many other international and national tournaments that continue to this day.
The MRTC is a private club that now has twelve magnificent Har-Tru™ courts playable day and night from May to October. Over many years, traditions such as predominantly all-white tennis attire and the provision of balls by the club, have become established and endorsed by generations of members. The Club also has a magnificent deck overlooking the club grounds, a saltwater pool, a snack bar, plus a lovely fine dining menu for evening pleasure.
There are a vast number of tennis activities to keep members in shape and get their game in top form. Typical events include a variety of Round Robins, evening House Leagues for men, women’s and men’s Interclub teams as well as many competitive and fun tournaments. We also have a team of seasoned coaches all certified by Tennis Canada to offer private lessons. We welcome your queries on how to join our great Club.
The MRTC is Tennis Canada’s club of choice in Quebec to host The Canadian Senior Nationals tournament. The tournament was held at the MRTC in 2015 and many members participated as players and volunteers.
