Past Winners
Founded by Terence Reese's Tournament Bridge Association, the Richard Lederer Memorial Cup was presented to the winners of the principal teams event at the TBA Spring Congress. When the TBA was disbanded, the event was taken over by London CBA. Following the death of Richard Lederer's son Tony in 1976, the event was renamed the Lederer Memorial Trophy which was initially a competition for London Bridge Clubs. In 1978 the event adopted the current format being an eight team invitational event and those now invited include national and international champions.
