The eighth Wimbledon Championships were in 1884 on the grounds of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on Worple Road instead.

For the first time in addition to the men's singles and men's doubles tournament was held one. English Championships in men's doubles were held at the University of Oxford since 1879, however, the interest of the players and spectators had taken there constantly so that the responsible local charges the tournament after Wimbledon. In addition, we introduced a women's singles competition, which was held after the completion of the men's singles tournament. The champion Maud Watson won a silver flower basket worth 20 guineas, their second-placed sister Lilian a silver hand mirror and a silver hairbrush. The first efforts to initiate a women's competition, had been in 1879 still refused. The holding has been criticized several times; among other things, demanded to hold the ladies competition in a secluded area of the site. English Championships in women's doubles took place in Buxton from 1885 until 1913 and were moved to Wimbledon.

After the tournament, the rules were adjusted: the ball was now allowed to be played at the net posts outside past.
