The 2026 County Cup Race is well and truly underway, with Yorkshire’s 9&U Girls team crowned champions in March after a clean sweep in qualifying, followed by wins against Warwickshire, Nottinghamshire and West of Scotland in the County Cup finals at Nottingham Tennis Centre. 

It’s was superb achievement for the girls – Penelope Garcia-Witham, Emilia-Rose Chan, Freya Debono, Halo Henderson and Emilia Willet, captained by Alice Robson and assistant Jonny Moore. Huge congratulations to everyone involved. Team Yorkshire!

The 18&U Girls also secured promotion back into Group 2 in March after a comprehensive win in their County Cup tie in Hull, which saw them post wins against Northumberland, Sussex and Hampshire & Isle of White, winning 22 of the 26 rubbers.

Last year Yorkshire secured third place in the LTA County Cup Race for the second year running, amassing a total of 193 points over the course of the year which saw the 12&U boys and 11&U boys teams crowned national champions, while the 12&U and 14&U girls also made the national finals at Nottingham. 

Final standings in the 44-county tennis event are based on performance across Junior, Adult and Senior County Cup events, with points awarded for each event.
