Aberdeen Cup

Aberdeen Cup

The Aberdeen Cup is an annual tennis tournament held between teams representing England and Scotland, two of the United Kingdom's Home Nations. It is hosted in Aberdeen, in north-eastern Scotland.

The tournament is held in a similar form to a Davis Cup match. There are rubbers in both singles and doubles play. Unlike the Davis Cup, there are also junior players taking part, with each of their rubbers worth half that of a senior rubber, and one ladies player on each team. Furthermore, with the exception of the 'headline' matches, between the two team captains, senior matches are only two sets long, with a 1-1 tie settled by tie-break. The junior matches are played over four games (see: "Tennis score").

Interest in a match-up between English and Scottish tennis players was piqued by the emergence of Scotland's Andy Murray as one of the United Kingdom's best tennis players in 2005. The inaugural tournament, held in that year, was won by Scotland by 4½ to 2½. Scotland successfully defended their title in 2006, winning by the margin of 6½ to 1.

Both tournaments held thus far have been broadcast on Sky Sports.
