The Elite Trophy takes place at the end of each season in two disciplines: singles and doubles. The singles event features 12 players (11 of them ranked from 9th to 19th on the final table of the WTA ranking, and one wildcard). The players are split into four groups of three, with the group winners advancing to the single elimination semifinals. The doubles championships features six teams in two groups with the group winners contesting the final.[2]
The inaugural edition was held in 2015, offering $2.15 million in prize money. Zhuhai, China, hosts the WTA Elite Trophy for the first six years until 2020.
