WTA Tier II tournaments

WTA tournaments
1988–2008 Tier I Tier II Tier III Tier IV and V 2009– Premier Tournaments International Tournaments Other Fed Cup

The WTA Tier II tournaments were Women's Tennis Association tennis second-level tournaments held from 1988 until 2008 season. The line-up of events varied over the years, with tournaments being promoted, demoted or cancelled. The series resulted from a reform of the WTA tour in 1988, offering more prize money for winners.

From 2009 WTA Tour, WTA changed tournament categories, so that majority of Tier I and Tier II tournaments from last seasons are in one category, WTA Premier Tournaments.
