The Rye Racquet Club has a long history of success in team tennis competition. We field teams in the following leagues throughout the year.

* MITL is a women’s daytime doubles team competition among outdoor clubs throughout Westchester County. The season runs May through June and the format is 4 lines of doubles and is best of 3 sets. They are 3 levels of competition: A, B and C with several flights within each level. RRC plays in the top flight in each division. 

* The Hudson Valley Tennis League (C2) is similar to the MITL, and a level just below MITL C. There are 5 levels of competition. RRC plays in the top flight.

* RRC hosts Adult Women’s United States Tennis Association (USTA) Leagues at the 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 & 5.0 levels. Each player must be a member of the USTA. Matches during the regular season are played throughout Westchester and Rockland Counties. Format is the best of 3 sets with a third set tie-breaker. USTA team matches are played on weeknights or weekends during the Spring/Summer and includes a combination of singles and doubles; during the Fall/Winter it is only doubles and matches are played during the daytime or on weekends.

Last Summer, for the sixth time since 2005, we captured all three Flight 1 divisions of MITL. Our Hudson Valley (C2) team also captured the Flight 1 title last year, which was their 3rd year in a row doing so.

Our USTA teams all play in the Eastern Section of USTA. The Eastern section is all of New York State, some of northern New Jersey and Greenwich CT. In 2016, our women’s 40 & Over 4.5 + team was an Eastern section finalist. Our men’s 18 & Over 5.0 team was also a finalist in the Eastern section and got a wild card spot to nationals in Arkansas. Our women’s 40 & Over 4.0 team was the Eastern section’s champion and went to Nationals in Indian Wells, California where they placed 2nd in their division. This year in 2020, our women’s 40 & Over 4.5 team was the National Championship Finalist played at The National Tennis Campus in Orlando, Florida.
