The All England Lawn Tennis Club, which stages The Championships, Wimbledon, is delighted to announce the return of The Hill in New York for its fourth year, bringing the magic of SW19 to the heart of New York City from Friday 11 July to Sunday 13 July 2025.
Set on the banks of the East River, at Brooklyn Bridge Park, in the heart of the city’s popular Dumbo neighbourhood, The Hill in New York offers fans a unique opportunity to experience the thrill of watching all the live action from The Championships finals weekend, with striking views over the Manhattan skyline. The Hill in New York sees Wimbledon expertly recreating its quintessential 'tennis in an English garden' setting, complete with signature florals, strawberries and cream, freshly baked scones, and traditional English fare.
The weekend-long celebrations will kick-off in spectacular style, with a special opening
night concert on Friday 11 July, presented by American Express. The concert will be
headlined by critically-acclaimed singer-songwriter, Rita Ora. Fans are invited to
join the celebration as Rita performs her top hits at a free concert in front of over
3,000 people at Brooklyn Bridge Park. Grounds will open at 6.00pm ET for ticketed
fans.
Rita Ora’s performance will be a celebration of music and community, with tracks from her latest album You & I, including her latest floor-filler “Ask & You Shall Receive” and #1 US Dance Radio hit “Praising You”, as well as a variety of her other smash hits.
Speaking about the event, Rita Ora commented: “As someone who has had the privilege to experience the magic of the Wimbledon finals first hand, I am thrilled to help bring that one-of-a-kind energy of The Championships to the iconic Brooklyn Bridge Park in New York. It’s going to be an incredible celebration of world-class tennis from across the pond. Get ready for some HEAT!”
Over the course of the weekend, guests can immerse themselves in the iconic Wimbledon experience as if they were on The Hill in London. Doors open from 7.00am ET on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 July, with the large screens broadcasting the ladies’ and gentlemen’s doubles finals from 8.00am, before showing the singles finals at 11.00am. Once live play has concluded, Wimbledon will be showing screenings of classic matches between tennis legends.
Usama Al-Qassab, Marketing and Commercial Director at The All England Lawn Tennis Club, commented: “We are thrilled to bring The Hill in New York back to Brooklyn Bridge Park for a fourth successive year. It’s an exciting opportunity to serve up Wimbledon, and its tradition of tennis in an English garden, for our passionate US fans. This summer, we will turn up the volume in the Big Apple by welcoming Rita Ora, a regular guest at Wimbledon, to perform on Friday evening at The Hill in New York, presented by American Express. We are confident Rita will entertain and delight fans in a way that is just as dazzling as all the live tennis action from The Championships which will be broadcast across the weekend.”
