The Adelaide International is a joint ATP and WTA event held at the same tennis complex at the start of January. Despite running simultaneously, the event belongs to different tiers in the event hierarchy: ATP 250 and WTA 500.

The city has a long tennis history, with the tournament format changing multiple times. The city hosted tennis events up until 2009, when the newly created Brisbane International left the city without a tennis tournament.

The Australian government partnered with Tennis Australia to renovate the complex, allowing tennis to return to the city in 2020. The event takes place at the Memorial Drive Park complex, which has even hosted the Australian Open at one point in its 100+ year-old history.

Renovations made it so that the highest-tier tennis returned recently, and it's been a huge success. The venue even hosted two events for both the ATP and WTA in 2022 and 2023. However, since 2024, the calendar has featured only one men's and one women's tournament with the return of the Brisbane International to the calendar.

Many great players have already won the event since its inception in 2020, such as Novak Djokovic, who was the champion in 2023. Australian tennis legend Ashleigh Barty won the first edition of the WTA event in 2020, and she added another trophy there in 2022. Players like Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, and Belinda Bencic were also champions.
