Midwest Team Cup

This summer, juniors from around the USTA Midwest will get the chance to compete in the new and revitalized Midwest Team Cup! The Midwest continues to be one of the only sections throughout the USTA that hosts a team competition for boys and girls to compete together in all age divisions (a 16s division has now been added). This is a Closed Level 4 tournament and match play consists of a round-robin format throughout the weekend and concludes with the top teams advancing to the championship match. Players are selected to participate based on their WTN or ranking depending on the age division. Details on the 2026 event can be found below!
