ATHENS, Ga. — The University of Georgia has been selected to host the 2027 NCAA Men’s and Women’s Tennis Team Championships, the 2027 NCAA Gymnastics Regional and the 2026 NCAA Men’s and Women’s Tennis Singles and Doubles Championships, according to an announcement by the National Collegiate Athletic Association.

Georgia is already scheduled to host the NCAA men’s and women’s tennis team championships in 2026, giving Athens the championships in back-to-back years for the first time since 2000-01. This will mark the first time Georgia will host a gymnastics regional since 2021 and the 13th time overall.

“College tennis is synonymous with the University of Georgia and Athens,” J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics Josh Brooks said. “We are thrilled to host this event in back-to-back years and are looking forward to welcoming teams from across the country back to the home of college tennis. This is also great news for our gymnastics program, which has a long and storied history of excellence in NCAA postseason events.”

The Bulldogs first hosted the men’s tennis championships in 1972 and every year from 1977 through 1989. Long known as the home of college tennis, Athens has hosted the men’s and women’s events a combined 36 times.

Georgia men’s tennis boasts six NCAA national championships (1985, 1987, 1999, 2001, 2007 and 2008), while Bulldog women’s tennis has twice captured the NCAA crown (1994 and 2000). The Gymdogs have earned an impressive 10 national titles during the program’s storied history.
