History
This competition was inaugurated in 1973 by the Maureen Connolly Brinker Tennis Foundation and Mrs. Frank A. Jeffett, twenty years after “Little Mo’s” Grand Slam in 1953 and four years after her death. The first two meetings were in the United States, but since 1975, play has alternated between the two countries. In 1999, the competition was changed from Ladies 21
& under to Ladies 19 & under, and in 2007, the competition was changed to Ladies 16 & under. The United States leads the competition in victories: 20-11. During its thirty-two years, the Maureen Connolly Challenge Trophy has included players like Pam Shriver, Kathy Jordan, Zina Garrison, Amy Frazier and Lisa Raymond for the U.S. and Jo Durie and Sue Barker for Great Britain.
