History

The ITF World Junior Tennis Competition was launched in 1991 as an International Team Competition for players aged 14 and under. [1] [3] Teams from across the world compete in this event with over 100 countries represented in the opening stages of the competition for a place in the Final where the top 16 boys' and girls' teams from regional qualifying compete for the title. [1] [3]

The Finals were held in Japan from 1991 until 1998 and for the first six years, it was sponsored by the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT). The event moved to Prostějov, Czech Republic in 1999. [1] [4]

Format

Each year nations enter regional qualifying events with the winners progressing to the Finals, where they compete to be crowned champion.
