Adelaide University Lawn Tennis Club (AULTC)
Join the Club. Hit the Courts. Be Part of Something Bigger.
Whether you’re just starting out or already smashing forehands like a pro, the Adelaide University Lawn Tennis Club (AULTC) is your home for all things tennis at the University of Adelaide.
We’re more than just a sports club — we’re a vibrant, inclusive community built for students, staff, and alumni who love tennis. From casual rallies to competitive matches, AULTC caters to all playing styles and skill levels.
Our Legacy
The Adelaide University Tennis Club is one of the founding clubs of Adelaide University Sport, with roots dating back to 1885 for the men’s team and 1912 for the women’s. The two clubs officially merged in 1970, and have since built a strong tradition of tennis excellence, camaraderie, and competition.
Today, we’re proud to offer both social and competitive tennis across natural grass and hard courts, blending heritage with a modern and welcoming culture.
Who Can Join?
AULTC is open to players of all standards — from first-timers to tournament veterans. While social tennis welcomes everyone, players interested in competition tennis should have a good standard of play. This includes the ability to serve and rally consistently, as even the lowest competition grades are highly competitive.
Experience playing on grass courts is a significant advantage in our summer competitions.
