United States Tennis Association

The United States Tennis Association (USTA) is the national governing body for the sport of tennis in the United States. The USTA was previously known as the United States National Lawn Tennis Association and was established in 1881 by a small group of tennis club members in New York City. USTA was created to standardize rules and regulations and to promote and develop the growth of tennis in the United States. The USTA runs the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center which hosts the US Open every year.

The USTA has 17 geographical sections with more than 665,000 individual members and 7,000 organizational members, and a professional staff dedicated to growing the game.
