Info First edition. Played on Fitzwilliam Square and Fitzwilliam Lawn Tennis Club (Asphalt and grass).
The original plan was to hold each event on a single day, starting with the men’s singles on Wednesday, June 4. The women’s singles event was scheduled for Saturday, June 7 but, due to bad weather, had to be postponed until the following Monday and did not finish until Tuesday, June 10. The women’s singles event was held outdoors, on an asphalt court, at the Fitzwilliam Club in Upper Pembroke Street, just off Fitzwilliam Square, the smallest of Dublin’s five Georgian squares, which was to be the venue for the Irish Championships until 1903. Tthe remaining events were held on grass around the corner in Fitzwilliam Square. In future years the women’s singles event was also played in Fitzwilliam Square itself. There was no women's doubles event at the first Irish Championships, nor from 1881-3. No women’s singles event was held in 1881.
