Disputato sui campi del Teignmouth Lawn Tennis Club, nel Devon, faceva parte del tradizionale circuito estivo del sud-ovest dell'Inghilterra e attirava regolarmente alcuni dei migliori tennisti britannici e internazionali, tra cui Ernest Wool Lewis, William Renshaw, Wilberforce Eaves e Harold Michelmore.
