The first Wimbledon Championship was held at the All England Club in London.

The inaugural 1877 Wimbledon Championship started on 9 July 1877 and the Gentlemen's Singles was the only event held.

22 men paid a guinea to enter the tournament, which was to be held over five days.

The rain delayed it four more days and thus, on 19 July 1877, the final was played.
