International Lawn Tennis Challenge 1911

The International Lawn Tennis Challenge 1911 was the 10th edition of the competition for men's national teams in tennis . After the tournament was canceled completely in 1910, the start of the tournament, which was planned for December 29, 1911, had to be postponed due to bad weather, so that the games actually took place from January 1 to 3, 1912.

As in the years 1908 and 1909 , the challenger USA reached the final and had to admit defeat to the defending champion Australasia , who won its fourth title in a row.

For the first time in the history of the International Lawn Tennis Challenge, this tournament allowed teams to use substitutes in meaningless games (i.e., 3-0, 4-0, or 3-1 scores).

The teams

As in the previous year , only representatives from the following two countries competed for a final ticket against the defending champion:

United States  British Islands
