We’re now in the second week of Wimbledon 2025 which means we’re counting down the days until the finals to see who will be crowned the champions of the infamous tennis tournament. Will Carlos Alcaraz be able to scoop his third victory in a row at Wimbledon? Will Women’s World Number One Aryna Sabalenka win her first Wimbledon?
In fact, we have so many questions about the tournament as a whole and what exactly victory could mean that we decided to save you some work and cure your curiosity when it comes to the Wimbledon Trophies.
What do you get if you win Wimbledon?
If Sunday does see both Alcaraz and Sabalenka come out on top, not only will they both receive some serious prize money (both the Ladies’ and Gentleman’s Singles Champions each receive £3,000,000), but they’ll also be presented with the Championship trophies – potentially by Kate Middleton or another member of the Royal Family.

What does the men's Wimbledon trophy look like?
The Gentleman’s Singles Trophy – which was first presented at Wimbledon in 1887 – is made of silver gilt and stands at 18 inches high with a diameter of 7.5 inches.
Around the bowl and on a small black plinth with an ornamental silver band at the bottom of the trophy are engraved the dates and names of the former Champions. The inscription of the cup reads, ‘The All England Lawn Tennis Club Single Handed Championship of the World’.
Why is there a pineapple on the men's Wimbledon trophy?
At the very top of Gentlemen’s Singles Trophy sits a gold pineapple, but the truth is no one actually knows why it’s there.

The main theory is that it was included because fruit was a sign of wealth back when the trophy was made in the 19th Century.
The Wimbledon website reads, ‘The most plausible explanation for the presence of this unlikely fruit atop the most prestigious trophy in tennis is that, when The Championships began in the latter half of the 19th century, pineapples were prized as a rare and exclusive food.
‘Although Christopher Columbus brought a pineapple back from his 1492 expedition to the New World pineapples remained expensive to import to, or grow in, western Europe, until commercial production began in Hawaii in the early 1900s. Serving them was thus an indication of high status.’
Pineapples were often used in 19th Century decorative motifs to convey status and hospitality.
What does the women's Wimbledon trophy look like?
The Ladies’ Singles Trophy is a silver salver (a fancy plate) sometimes referred to as the Rosewater Dish.
Introduced in 1886 when Women were finally allowed to compete at Wimbledon, the salver is made of sterling silver and is 18.75 inches in diameter.
The decoration at the centre shows the figure of Temperance, seated on a chest, with a lamp in her right hand and a jug in her left. Around her are various objects including a sickle, a fork and a caduceus aka a staff entwined with two snakes.
The inner ring depicts four different classical gods whilst the outer shows Minerva – God of Wisdom – presiding over the seven liberal arts: Astrology, Geometry, Arithmetic, Music, Rhetoric, Dialectic and Grammar.

Do the champions get to keep the Wimbledon trophies?
After William Renshaw won the Gentlemen’s Single title three times in succession resulting in the need for three different trophies, it was decided that the trophies would not become the property of the winner.
Instead Champions receive a three-quarter size replica of the trophies bearing the names of all past Champions.
