Which Massachusetts club hosted the US men's doubles event from 1917 to 1933? The answer is Longwood Cricket Club.

Longwood Cricket Club in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, hosted the U.S. men's doubles championship from 1917 through 1933. The club was already an important American sporting venue, with tennis facilities alongside its older cricket tradition.

The doubles event did not always follow the men's singles tournament to the same location. During this era, the singles competition moved among Newport, Forest Hills, and Germantown Cricket Club, while Longwood provided a stable home for men's doubles. In 1934, both the men's and women's doubles events were held there.

Longwood's tennis history extends well beyond the U.S. Championships. Its first tennis tournament was held in 1882, and the club hosted the first Davis Cup competition in 1900. The U.S. Pro Tennis Championships were also staged there for much of the professional era, helping preserve Longwood's importance in American tennis history.
