After becoming the first club in the Southport area to have floodlights on April 4th 1968, the club decided to host an inter-club tournament and invite neighbouring clubs to experience floodlight Tennis.

After beginning with a mixed doubles event in the event's first year, the club expanded with the addition of a men's doubles and ladies double event.

In a knockout style with one representitive in each event from each club, Carlton's Floodlit Trophy event would take place for two weeks in September.
