Which club organizes the Wimbledon Championships each year?

The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club organizes the Wimbledon Championships each year.

The private members’ club, commonly called the All England Club, is based on Church Road in Wimbledon, London. It is best known for staging The Championships, the world’s oldest tennis tournament and the only Grand Slam event still played on outdoor grass courts. The event is organized in collaboration with the Lawn Tennis Association.

The club began as the All England Croquet Club in 1868. Lawn tennis was added in the 1870s, and the first Wimbledon lawn-tennis championship was held in 1877. The word “croquet” disappeared from the club’s name in 1882 as tennis became its central activity, then returned in 1899 for traditional reasons. The club and the tournament are related but not identical: the AELTC is the organizing institution, while Wimbledon is the championship it runs.
