The world’s oldest tennis event, The Championships, Wimbledon, will be returning stateside for the third successive year, staging The Hill in New York from Friday 12 to Sunday 14 July.

The event will see Wimbledon taking over Empire Fulton Ferry beside a nine-acre area of Brooklyn Bridge Park to recreate its iconic ‘Hill’, the famous vantage point for fans to gather and enjoy tennis on the big screen. With sweeping views over Manhattan and live tennis on show, fans in New York will be able to enjoy a quintessential Wimbledon experience from afar.

Following the event’s popularity during its first two editions, The Hill in New York will be relocating to a bigger venue on the banks of the East River in the heart of the city’s popular Dumbo neighbourhood, doubling capacity to 3,500 on each of the days. Entry to The Hill in New York will be free, with fans able to secure tickets through an online ballot, now open here, which closes on Thursday 4 July.

As well as the change of location, the All England Club has announced it will be updating the format of the event, with an intimate free performance on the evening of Friday 12 July by a global celebrity talent, who will be revealed on Tuesday 11 June.

Following the Friday night performance, The Hill in New York will be open from 8.30am on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 July for those who have secured their ticket via the ballot and a limited number of walk-ins.

Guests will be greeted by Wimbledon stewards and invited to immerse themselves in the quintessential experience of British tradition and fare, with iconic strawberries & cream and Pimm’s served at the Wimbledon garden bar. Wimbledon picnics will also be available to purchase ahead of the event to enjoy on the day. The Wimbledon Shop will also return this year, which houses Wimbledon’s exclusive clothing line designed onsite and, outside of The Championships, is only available online for US shoppers.

Large screens will show live tennis action from Centre Court, including the provisionally scheduled ladies’ singles and gentlemen’s doubles finals on Saturday, and gentlemen’s singles and ladies’ doubles finals on Sunday, in an atmosphere similar to the Hill at SW19. Once live play has concluded, there will be sunset screenings of notable Wimbledon matches between tennis legends.
