About the Fund

The NSW ATP Cup Tennis Legacy Fund (the Fund) was an initiative established by Tennis NSW and the NSW Government, as a result of securing the ATP Cup Group and Finals matches in Sydney from 2020. The Fund invested over $6M into community tennis across NSW over three years, targeting infrastructure, facility development and participation programs that support the growth of the game. Funding was delivered through four categories, each with specific objectives, eligibility criteria and process.

CATEGORY 1

Category 1 is for major infrastructure development and will be open on an ongoing basis for the duration of the Legacy Fund.

More than $4m will be directed to significant infrastructure projects to develop new or upgraded key hubs with strategic alignment.

CATEGORIES 2 AND 3

Category 2 is for small to medium facility development or upgrade projects that will increase participation. Category 3 is for the development of targeted programs aligned to participation growth. A total of $900,000 of funding is available over three years (2020, 2021, 2022).

CATEGORY 4

Thanks to a further $300,000 investment of the NSW Government through the ATP Cup Legacy Fund Category 4 and other co-contributions, Tennis NSW will deliver:

Diversity and Inclusion (Play Project) – pilot program and ongoing initiatives aimed at creating greater accessibility to tennis for people from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) communities in NSW
