The winner will be contacted on January 1 and commit to delivering the trophies to the tournament by March 1.

The 2025 Bermuda Championships is the rebirth of an historic tournament first held on the island in 1879.
Bermuda played an historic role in the introduction of tennis to the United States when Mary Outerbridge holidayed here in the 1870s and returned to the US with all the equipment needed to play. The first tennis court was reportedly installed by Outerbridge in 1874 at the Staten Island Cricket and Baseball Club in New York.
