It neighbours Old Hill Cricket Club, and the two clubs, while both being run entirely separately by individual committees, share a close relationship with each other, and are in a trust. The official name of the club is Old Hill Cricket and Tennis Club (Tennis Section).

Founded in 1932, the club has entered a men's and a women's team into the Birmingham League, with mixed success.

As the club is on the boundary of Hereford & Worcester, and Staffordshire, the club enters a men's and ladies' team into both leagues every year.

In 2013, the men's team competed in Division 7 East in the Hereford & Worcester league[1] and Division 4 South in the Staffordshire league.[2] The ladies team competed in Division 3 in the Hereford & Worcester league[3] and Division 4 South in the Staffordshire league.[2]
