History

The event started on Long Island's Jericho hamlet as a four-player singles exhibition in 1981, the event, first known as the Hamlet Challenge Cup, developed into a larger draw competition, and saw winning numerous top players in the 1980s, including Ivan Lendl and an eighteen-year-old Andre Agassi in 1988.{{cite news|author=Judy Weinberg |title=LI Sports: A Chronology |url=http://www.newsday.com/community/guide/lihistory/ny-historysports-chron,0,6602613,full.story |access-date=2008-09-11 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080516094839/http://www.newsday.com/community/guide/lihistory/ny-historysports-chron,0,6602613,full.story |archive-date=May 16, 2008 }}{{cite news|work=The New York Times|title= Mayer Beats Kriek| url = https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F04EFD81738F933A0575BC0A964948260| date=1982-08-30| access-date =2008-09-11}}{{cite news|work=The New York Times|title= Gene Mayer Wins, Beating Gunthardt| url = http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F70C1EF73F5C0C7A8EDDA10894DB484D81| date=1983-08-29| access-date =2008-09-11}}{{cite news|work=The New York Times|title= Gomez Is Beaten By Lendl, 6-2, 6-4| url = http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F60E10FE3B5C0C748EDDA10894DC484D81| date=1984-08-27| access-date =2008-09-11}}{{cite news|work=The New York Times|title= Lendl Defeats Connors| url = https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9900EEDF1139F932A25753C1A963948260| date=1985-10-11| access-date =2008-09-11}}{{cite news|work=The New York Times|title= Lendl Dominates McEnroe To Win Final| url = http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F50715F9385E0C768EDDA10894DE484D81| date=1986-08-25| access-date =2008-09-11}}{{cite news|work=The New York Times|title= Tennis; Manuela Maleeva Defeats Hanika| url = https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B0DEFD8113BF932A0575BC0A961948260| date=1987-08-31| access-date =2008-09-11}}{{cite news|newspaper=The Washington Post|title= Agassi, Graf Win Final Tune-Ups; Both Say They Are Ready for Beginning of U.S. Open Today| url = http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1P2-1276005.html| date=1988-08-29| access-date =2008-09-11}}{{cite news|work=The New York Times|title= U.S. OPEN '89; Lendl Tested in Final But Prevails as Usual | url = https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=950DE7DD1530F93BA1575BC0A96F948260| date=1989-08-28| access-date =2008-09-11}} In 1990, the Long Island tournament became part of the tour as it entered the newly created Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Tour, being sponsored by numerous companies including; Norstar Bank in 1990 and 1991,{{cite web|url=http://longislandtennismagazine.com/article/girls-are-back-town|title=The Girls Are Back in Town|first=Long Island Tennis Magazine|last=Staff|date=1 March 2009|website=longislandtennismagazine.com|access-date=21 April 2018}} Waldbaum's from 1992 to 1995 and from 1997 to 2000, Genovese Drug Stores in 1996,{{cite web |url=http://www.thefreelibrary.com/GENOVESE+DRUG+STORES%2c+INC.+TO+SPONSOR+HAMLET+CUP%3b+WORLD'S+TOP+PLAYERS...-a017114916 |title=GENOVESE DRUG STORES, INC.

In 2005 the USTA decided to purchase the men's tournament of Long Island, New York and merge it with the Women's event at New Haven.{{cite news|agency=Associated Press|title= USTA buys ATP event, moves it to New Haven| url = https://www.usatoday.com/sports/tennis/2005-05-09-usta-event_x.htm|date =2005-05-09| access-date =2008-08-22|work=USA Today}} This move created the first large joint ATP–WTA tournament leading to the US Open.{{cite news|author=USTA|author-link=United States Tennis Association|title= USTA purchases ATP men's tournament to create first combined summer event| url = http://www.newengland.usta.com/News/News-and-Events/2005_05/174623_USTA_Purchases_ATP_Mens_Tournament_to_Create_First_Combined_Summer_Event/ |date =2005-05-10| access-date =2010-10-19}} The tournament remained a joint event until 2011 when the men's and women's events became separated, and the men's tournament relocated to Winston-Salem. The tournament will ignore its history with the ATP calling it a new event.

Tournament

The tournament is part of the US Open Series and is typically held in August the week prior to the US Open. It used to be one of six 250 level events on tour played in the United States but from 2025 it is one of only three. In 2016, the tournament received recognition as one of the ATP World Tour 250 Tournaments of the Year.

Ivan Lendl holds the record for most singles titles at five, winning in 1984–1986, 1989 and 1991; he also holds the record for most singles titles won in a row, at three. The only doubles team to win back-to-back titles is Jonathan Stark and Kevin Ullyett.
