The 2015 TCR International Series Monza round was the fifth round of the 2015 TCR International Series season. It took place on 24 May at the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza.
Gianni Morbidelli won both races, driving a Honda Civic Type R TCR (FK2).
Success Ballast Due to the results obtained in the previous round, Jordi Gené received +30 kg, Nicki Thiim +20 kg and Michel Nykjær +10 kg. Nevertheless, Thiim didn't take part at this event, so he would have taken the ballast at the first round he would have participated.
