Tournament history[]
The Nuremberg Open was a defunct men's tennis tournament that was played on the Grand Prix tennis circuit in 1976. The event was held in Nuremberg, West Germany and was played on indoor carpet courts. Frew McMillan won the singles title while partnering with Karl Meiler to win the doubles title.
The Nuremberg Cup (sponsored by Nürnberger Versicherunggruppe and called the Nürnberger Versicherungscup) was a professional women's tennis tournament played on outdoor clay courts in Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany.[1] The event was affiliated with the Women's Tennis Association (WTA), and was an International-level tournament on the WTA Tour.[2][3] The inaugural 2013 edition took place the week after the French Open while from 2014 to 2019, the event was scheduled the week before the French Open.
In 2020, the licence was sold and the tournament "moved" to Bad Homburg, also changing surface to grass.[4] A new stadium was inaugurated at the historic Kurpark, where the first tennis court on the European continent was built in 1876.[5]
