Eugene Henry McCauliff (January 24, 1909 – August 13, 1984) was an American tennis player.
Based in Yonkers, McCauliff played collegiate tennis for Fordham University.[1]
McCauliff was a four-time national indoor doubles champion and featured at Wimbledon in 1930. At the Mason & Dixon tournament in 1932 he had an upset win over U.S. Davis Cup player John Van Ryn.[2] His best performance at the U.S. national championships was a third round appearance in 1933, which he almost repeated the next year, pushing number two seed Wilmer Allison to five sets in a second round match. Allison went on to make the final.[3]
In 1940 he was married to wife Katherryn (nee Hernan).[4]
