Rio de Janeiro International

In 1913 the Rio de Janeiro Country Club was founded. In 1947 it established a clay court event called the Torneio Internacional do Rio de Janeiro or Rio de Janeiro International.^[2] This tournament ran annually until 1967 when it was discontinued with the advent of the Open Era in 1968.

In 1989 a new successor international men-only tennis tournament was revived called the Rio de Janeiro Open, however this was played in indoor carpet courts until 1990 then it too ended.

In 2014 a combined tennis tournament returned once more to Rio de Janeiro when the new Rio Open this time a clay court event, was first staged at the Jockey Club Brasileiro. It remained a combined ATP and WTA tournament until 2016 when the women's event was ended, this men's event still continues as of 2024.

In 2017 international tennis returned to the Rio de Janeiro Country Club with the staging of the Rio Tennis Classic an ATP Challenger Tour clay court tournament that lasted one season only due a lack of sponsors.

In 2021 it was revived as a hard court tournament at a new venue the Olympic Tennis Centre, Rio de Janeiro.
