The 1926 Wimbledon Championships, also known as the Jubilee Championships, took place on the outdoor grass courts at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon, London, United Kingdom. The tournament ran from 21 June until 3 July.[1] It was the 46th staging of the Wimbledon Championships, and the third Grand Slam tennis event of 1926.
