WTA Tier II tournaments

The WTA Tier II tournaments were Women's Tennis Association second-level tennis tournaments held from 1990 until the end of the 2008 season. The line-up of events varied over the years, with tournaments being promoted, demoted or cancelled.

From 2009 WTA Tour, WTA changed tournament categories, so that the majority of Tier I and Tier II tournaments from the previous season were in one category, the WTA Premier Tournaments.
