During 1991, two tournaments were played at Guarujá, both part of the ATP World Series. The second event, held in November, was played for the first and only time and referred to as the Bliss Cup. There is some confusion about the exact location of the tournament, with the ATP and ITF stating it was in Guarujá but other sources saying São Paulo.
