River Oaks Clay Court Championships

The River Oaks International began in 1931 at River Oaks Country Club and is still played today at the same venue on its original surface.  Over 73 years of professional tennis, River Oaks has been the home to different tournaments including their own River Oaks International which has been a popular exhibition tournament for many years, and the Stanford Champions Cup.

In 2007 we merged the International with the US Men’s Clay Court Championships to create the River Oaks Clay Court Championships.

The River Oaks Clay Court Championships will take place on April 4-10, 2016 at River Oaks Country Club in Houston, TX. River Oaks has hosted a professional tournament for the last 75 years, including the Champions Cup and the River Oaks International.

The River Oaks Clay Court Championships features World class men’s tennis professionals, defined by the past champions of the River Oaks International, including: Rod Laver, Ivan Lendl, Jimmy Arias, and James Blake.
