WTA 250 is a category of tennis tournaments in the Women's Tennis Association tour, implemented since the reorganization of the schedule in 2021. Earlier these events were classified as WTA International Tournaments.
The ranking points awarded to the winners of these tournaments are 250. This compares to 2,000 points for winning a Grand Slam tournament ("Major"), up to 1,500 points for winning the WTA Finals, 1000 points for winning a WTA 1000 tournament, and 500 for winning a WTA 500 tournament.
At their introduction in 2021, WTA 250 tournaments' prize money was approximately $250,000. As of 2026 season, this has risen to $283,347. All tournaments have a 32 player main draw for singles and a 16 team main draw for doubles.
