The 1877 Women's Tennis Season was mainly composed of national, regional, local amateur tournaments.

In certain countries that did not establish a national association until later, had provincial, regional or state lawn tennis associations overseeing tournaments in a province, region or state within a country, such as the Northern Lawn Tennis Association in Manchester, England (f.1880),[1] had responsibility for coordinating tournaments staged by clubs in the North of England region.

At the second edition of South of Ireland Championships in Limerick the singles event was won by a Miss Smith.

In 1913 the International Lawn Tennis Federation was created, that consisted of national member associations.

The ILTF through its associated members then became responsible for supervising women's tour events.
