He won the singles title at the British Covered Court Championships, played at the Queen's Club in London, six consecutive times between 1901 and 1906.<ref name="English Indoor Tennis">{{cite news|title=English Indoor Tennis|url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1906/04/29/101776781.pdf|newspaper=The New York Times|date=29 April 1906}}</ref> Additionally he won the singles title at The South of France Championships in Nice seven times in a row (1900–1906).<ref name=bmarcore>[http://bmarcore.club.fr/tennis/champions/doherty/E-laurie.html Hugh Laurence Doherty (UK) ] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20121209075113/http://bmarcore.club.fr/tennis/champions/doherty/E-laurie.html |date=9 December 2012 }}</ref>
Doherty won the singles event of the tennis competition at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris. Gold medals were not given at the 1900 Games. In the semifinal he was scheduled to play against his brother but Reggie withdrew, since the brothers refused to play each other before the final.<ref>{{cite book|last=Grasso|first=John|title=Historical dictionary of tennis|publisher=Scarecrow Press|location=Lanham, Maryland|isbn=9780810872370|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=W39oSS7c2xAC&pg=PA86|page=86|date=16 September 2011}}</ref> In the final Doherty defeated Harold Mahony in three straight sets.

Between 1902 and 1906 Doherty played for the British Davis Cup team and was undefeated during this period. In 1902 he partnered his brother to win the doubles match in the challenge round against the United States but the latter retained the Cup after a 3–2 victory. In 1903 Doherty won both his singles matches as well as the doubles match to help the British Isles to their first Davis Cup victory. In 1904, 1905 and 1906 he was part of the British team that successfully defended the Cup.<ref>{{cite web|title=Davis Cup player profile|url=http://www.daviscup.com/en/players/player/profile.aspx?playerid=10003388|publisher=International Tennis Federation (ITF)}}</ref>
The brothers co-wrote ''R.F. and H.L. Doherty on Lawn Tennis'' (1903).
He gave up tennis for golf in 1906 and distinguished himself in that sport as well. In 1908 Doherty reached the last 16 of the British amateur championship at the Royal St George's course.<ref name=odnb/><ref name=sports-reference/>
In 1914, after the outbreak of World War I, Doherty joined the Anti-Aircraft branch of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve but was released in 1915 due to ill health.<ref>{{cite web|title=Records of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve – Doherty, Hugh Lawrence|url=http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/Details?uri=D7706585|publisher=The National Archives}}</ref>
Doherty died of toxemia on 21 August 1919 at Leon Cottage in Broadstairs, Kent after having tubercular nephritis and cystitis for two years. He was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1980 together with his brother.<ref name="IHOF"/><ref name=odnb/>
