Biography
After growing up in Ireland, Mabel Cahill established residence in New York and became the first foreign player when she defeated Ellen Roosevelt in the 1891 US Championships women's final at the Philadelphia Cricket Club. Besides Cahill won the Orange Club ladies championship in 1890 and 1891.
She successfully defended that title the following year, defeating Bessie Moore in a hard fought, five-set final and also won the women's doubles title with Adeline McKinlay and the mixed doubles title with Clarence Hobart. She then elected to default her crown in 1893 and did not compete again on the international level, returning to Ireland and leaving an enviable record of success in the United States behind her.
She died 1 January 1905, Ireland.
In 1976 she was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame.
