ABOUT THE EVENT
ABOUT THE JAMAICA CUP
Introducing the inaugural Jamaica Cup, a four-day professional tennis experience set against the vibrant backdrop of Montego Bay, Jamaica. Produced by KM Sports Entertainment, this intimate, invitation-only event brings together world-class players, curated VIP experiences, and unforgettable island hospitality—all in one of the Caribbean’s most iconic destinations.
Hosted at the legendary Half Moon Resort, the Jamaica Cup is designed to blur the lines between spectator and participant. Guests won’t just watch elite tennis—they’ll dine, celebrate, and connect directly with the pros in a uniquely personal setting.
World-Class Talent. Island Energy.
This year’s players include a dynamic mix of ATP, WTA, and Caribbean stars such as Jenson Brooksby (USA), Christina McHale (USA), and Blaise Bicknell (Jamaica)—with more names to be announced soon. Expect competitive exhibition matchups, spirited pro-am pairings, and plenty of moments where the energy of the island meets the intensity of the court.
Immersive Experiences for Every Guest.
Every day at the Jamaica Cup offers something special:
-
Thursday kicks off with our signature Pro-Am tournament, where VIP guests play alongside the pros.
