The Manchester Trophy (also known as the Aegon Manchester Trophy) is a professional tennis tournament played on outdoor grass courts. It was previously part of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Challenger Tour and now currently part of the International Tennis Federation (ITF) Women's Circuit. It is held annually at the Northern Lawn Tennis Club in the Didsbury suburb of Manchester, England, United Kingdom, since 1995. The original defunct tournament, the Manchester Open, began in 1880 and continued until the event became a lower level Challenger tournament in 1995. The Challenger level event ended in 2009, but was revived in 2015. The men's tournament was discontinued after the 2016 edition while the women's tournament was established in 2017.
