The 1903 International Lawn Tennis Challenge was the third edition of what is now known as the Davis Cup. The British Isles team returned to the United States to contest the Cup. The tie was played at the Longwood Cricket Club in Boston, Massachusetts (the same location as the first competition in 1900). The British won 4-1, bringing the Cup to Britain for the first time.[1]
