The ITF Women's Circuit is the second-tier tour for women's professional tennis organised by the International Tennis Federation, and is a tier below the WTA Tour.
The ITF Women's Circuit includes tournaments with prize money ranging from $10,000 up to $100,000.
These events serve as a stepping stone for players on their way to the WTA Tour, offering ranking points and prize money.
Players compete in singles and doubles events at various levels of competition across the globe.
