Welcome to the IC of Ireland

AIMS OF THE INTERNATIONAL LAWN TENNIS CLUB OF IRELAND

To promote friendship and sportmanship in tennis between Ireland and other countries across the life cycle by hosting fixtures with other IC countries, by supporting tennis development in Ireland and by providing mentorship for young Irish players.

To set the game above renown,
To love the game beyond the prize,
To honour, while you strike him down,
The foe that comes with fearless eyes,
To count the life of battle good,
And dear the land that gave you birth,
And dearer yet the brotherhood,
That binds the brave of all the earth.

Loïs Boisson: From Monaco Memories to Roland-Garros History

Loïs Boisson: From Monaco Memories to Roland-Garros History

Loïs Boisson has just made history at Roland-Garros, becoming the first woman in the Open Era to reach the semi-finals as a wildcard. A stunning achievement for the young French player — and a proud moment for those who witnessed her early steps.

Back in 2016, during the IC Junior Finals hosted in Monaco, Loïs was part of a Côte d’Azur team invited to represent the host region. As Monaco did not have a national team, the IC of Monaco, with approval from the IC Council, welcomed young French talents from the neighbouring league. Among them was a quiet, determined girl who already showed promise: Loïs Boisson.

To see her now, years later, writing her name into the history books at Roland-Garros, is both heartwarming and inspiring. Her journey from junior IC events to the final four in Paris is a reminder of how international tennis friendships and opportunities can help nurture the champions of tomorrow.

A moment of pride for French tennis — and for the IC family.
