The Newport Casino is a sports club located in Newport, Rhode Island. In this case "casino" has a more antiquated definition and there has never been a gambling facility on the site. The Casino is famous for its lawn tennis courts and was the site of the first championships sponsored by the United States Lawn Tennis Assocation in 1881. Tennis is still played here and the International Tennis Hall of Fame opened here in 1954. The Casino also hosts some events during the annual Newport Jazz Festival.
