The MRTC has played host to 28 Davis Cup ties between 1923 and 1964.
All but the last of these ties was played on grass courts—the 1964 tie was played on clay. Only three other Davis Cup ties played in Canada have ever been on grass, one held at the

As of 2009, the club has been operating for 102 years.
