The IC of Argentina qualify for the IC Rod Laver Junior Challenge World Finals 2027

The South American qualifying event for the 2026 IC Rod Laver Junior Challenge took place on 13-16 July 2026 and brought together teams from the ICs of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay at the Carrasco Lawn Tennis Club in Montevideo. Hosted by the IC of Uruguay, the event combined high-quality junior tennis with the International Clubs' enduring values of friendship, sportsmanship and international fellowship.

Despite weather forcing a revised schedule, the competition was completed successfully over three days. The IC of Argentina produced consistently outstanding tennis throughout the tournament, defeating the IC of Uruguay (1) by 5–1 in a closely contested final to secure qualification for the IC Rod Laver Junior Challenge World Finals. The IC of Bolivia in particular made an impressive debut in the competition after the creation of the IC in 2025, finishing in third place ahead of the ICs of Chile, Brazil and Uruguay (2).

Off the court, the event reflected the IC spirit through a welcome reception, social activities and a community tennis clinic with children from the IC of Uruguay's "Growing up with Tennis" programme, where players shared their skills and experiences with young participants.

The Sportsmanship Awards, voted for by the team captains, recognised Maria E. Moretti (Brazil) and Andree Montellano (Bolivia) for their exemplary sportsmanship. The tournament concluded with a light-hearted captains' doubles match, providing a fitting celebration of the friendships forged throughout the week.

We hope all our IC Members are keeping safe, well and hopefully getting to play some tennis. The health, safety and well-being of members is a priority  so unfortunately, we have had to cancel or postpone some events this year. We continue to closely monitor the situation. As of July 2021, the events below are scheduled for the remainder of the year. Most recent changes include the postponement of the Uruguay 40th anniversary event until April 2022, and the postponement of the Potter Cup until October 2021. Unfortunately we have very regrettably, after considerable discussions, cancelled The IC Rod Laver Worldwide Junior Finals. We are planning a Zoom meeting for the finalist teams with Rod Laver and will present them with special “Finalist medals”. Please see the relevant events page for further details.
