The culmination of each of the five main Championships at Wimbledon comes with the Final and the presentation (on court for the singles events) of the Trophies to the winners. The Championship Trophies are displayed for several months of the year in the Museum.

Gentlemen's Singles Championship
The Gentlemen's Singles Trophy is a silver gilt cup and cover, presented by the All England Club in 1887, inscribed "The All England Lawn Tennis Club Single Handed Champion of the World." The Cup stands 18 1/2 inches high and has a diameter of 7 1/2 inches. The Cup has a classical style with two handles and a raised foot. The lid is formed with a pineapple on top and there is a head wearing a winged helmet beneath each handle. There are two decorative borders with floral work and ovolo mouldings on the bowl of the Cup and on the handles.

Commencing in 1949 all champions have received a miniature replica of the trophy (height 8 1/2 inches)

Ladies' Singles Championship
The Ladies' Singles Trophy is a silver salver, sometimes referred to as the 'Rosewater Dish' or 'Venus Rosewater Dish' which was first won by the Champion when the challenge round was introduced in 1886.

The 50 guineas trophy was made in 1864 by Messrs. Elkington and Co. Ltd of Birmingham and is a copy of an electrotype by Caspar Enderlein from a pewter original in the Louvre.

The salver, which is made of sterling silver, partly gilded, is 18 3/4 inches in diameter. There is a central boss surrounded by four reserves, with right on the spreading rim. The remainder of the surface is decorated with gilt renaissance strapwork and foliate motifs in relief against a rigid silver ground.

The theme of the decoration is mythological. The central boss has a figure of Temperance, seated on a chest with a lamp in her right hand and a jug in her left, with various attributes such as a sickle, fork and caduceus around her. The four reserves on the boss of the dish each contain a classical god, together with elements. The reserves around the rim show Minerva presiding over the seven Liberal Arts: Astrology, Geometry, Arithmetic, Music, Rhetoric, Dialectic and Grammar, each with relevant attribute. The rim of the salver has an ovolo moulding.

Commencing in 1949 all champions have received a miniature replica of the trophy (diameter 8 inches).
