When did this tradition start? I googled a little bit but couldn't find this info.

Don't lie to the boy. The truth is Abraham Lincoln invited the Washington Patriots to the White House for tea and crumpets as a celebration for their victory. The year was 1933.

For a real answer, the earliest date I can find is when the 1978 Washington Bullets visited then President Jimmy Carter. I'm also not sure if it happened every year thereafter or not.
