THE DAVIS Cup will be on show later this month on the first leg of a nationwide tour.
The iconic trophy, which the Great Britain squad lifted last year, is scheduled to be at the Sands Centre in Carlisle, on Friday 29 April.
County Lawn Tennis Associations across the country submitted bids to be included in the tour, which began this month in Glasgow.
Joy Robinson, of Cumbria LTA, said: “It’s very exciting. We are absolutely delighted to have succeeded in getting the cup here so soon - in the first few weeks of the LTA tour.
“I know there will be great interest and we will be putting on a whole programme of tennis and other fun activities on the day.
“We look forward to welcoming as many people as possible and I hope it will inspire people to take up tennis and other sports.”
The trophy will be on show at the Sands Centre sports hall between 1pm and 6pm.
