The 2016 Canberra Challenger was a professional tennis tournament played on outdoor hard courts. It was the first edition of the tournament, which was part of the 2016 ATP Challenger Tour. It took place in Canberra, Australia between 9 to 16 January 2016.
The 2016 edition is described as a "one-off" due to a gap in the events with the draw sizes changing in Sydney and Auckland, however Tennis ACT boss Ross Triffitt hopes it becomes a permanent fixture in the tennis calendar. The tournament attracted 10 of the world's top 100 participating.[1]
