The Young America Cricket Club Invitation[1] was a late 19th-century men's grass court tennis tournament held at the Young America Cricket Club (YACC), Stanton, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States from 1885 to 1895.
In 1855 the Young America Cricket Club (YACC) was founded.[2] In 1885 the club inaugurated an invitational men's tennis tournament known as the Young America Cricket Club Invitation.[3] This important event was only held for three editions.[4] The tournament was discontinued as following the merger of the Young America Cricket Club with another famous venue the Germantown Cricket Club in 1889.[5]
