The 37th edition of the Wimbledon Championships took place in 1913 on the grounds of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on Worple Road.

This was preceded by the founding of the International Lawn Tennis Federation in March 1913 . Since the English association had reserved the right to hold the World Tennis Championships on grass, the tournament was known as the World's Championships on Grass until 1924 . On this occasion, the women's doubles and mixed competitions were officially awarded championship status. While in women's doubles, as in the other competitions, the Challenge Round mode was retained until 1922 , this was never introduced in mixed.

Anthony Wilding defeated the challenger Maurice McLoughlin in the Challenge Round to claim his fourth title. Over 7,000 spectators were present on the final day. The final had been brought forward from Saturday to Friday because it was feared that the crowd of spectators on a non-working day would not be able to cope with it.
