The Lederer Memorial Trophy is a prestigious invitation teams event organised by the London Metropolitan Bridge Association.
First played in 1945 as a tribute to Richard Lederer, it was originally an inter-county competition, but became a challenge event between London’s Bridge Clubs. Richard was a leading international player who ran his own club and contributed greatly to the development of English bridge in its formative years. The name of his son, Tony, the first President of the LCCBA (the former name of the LMBA), was added to the dedication in 1977 by his widow, Rhoda Barrow Lederer, one of the leading bridge teachers of the time.
In 2013, the Lederer was played for the first time at the Royal Automobile Club, the event being expanded to accommodate ten teams rather than the usual eight.
