With the purchase of the East club in 1975, IRC increased the number of indoor courts to 24. IRC is the former home to several major tournaments including the U.S. National Clay Court Championships, the Virginia Slims of Indianapolis, the National Boy's 12 and Under, and the National Women's 65 and Over
