The King Ludwig Cup was held in the Bavarian capital for the first time in 1999. It is an official world ranking tournament in accordance with the statutes of the Gay & Lesbian Tennis Alliance GLTA. In 2004, when it was part of the EuroGames, the KLC reached its highest number of participants with 350 players. The tournament takes place in one of the most beautiful tennis complexes in Munich – the Olympic Park Tennis Courts, against the backdrop of the world famous roof of the Olympic Stadium. The tennis complex is easily accessable and has 14 clay courts including a center court for 300 spectators.

Every year, more than 100 players and guests from Europe as well as from abroad participate in the tournament. You can enjoy three days of thrilling matches on the red clay courts. And no matter at which level of play: There is always something interesting to see, and spectators are very welcome!

What is the KLC all about? Of course it’s about tennis and trophies. But most of all, it is about the numerous friendships that have developed throughout the years and the ones that continue to develop. It’s about the fun that we have on and around the courts. That is why we especially look forward to seeing the “old” faces that appear year after year – and to welcoming the new ones to Munich as well!
