The New York Apples were a charter franchise of World Team Tennis (WTT). The team was originally known as the New York Sets to match the names of other successful New York sports teams including the New York Mets, the New York Jets, and the New York Nets. They won the 1976 WTT championship under that name led by Billie Jean King. Prior to the 1977 season, the defending champion Sets held a contest to choose a new name for the team, and Apples was selected. With their new name, the Apples produced the same results winning their second consecutive WTT title in 1977. On October 27, 1978, the Apples folded after their fifth season. WTT suspended operations of the league shortly thereafter.
