The WTA Elite Trophy is the secondary year-end professional women's tennis tournament on the WTA Tour. 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.
The inaugural edition was held in 2015, offering $2.15 million in prize money. The WTA Elite Trophy replaces the smaller WTA Tournament of Champions which was played 2009–14. Zhuhai, China, hosts the Elite Trophy for the first five years until 2019.
