The Caribbean Circuit also known as the Caribbean Sunshine Circuit or Caribbean Tennis Tour was a series tour of tennis tournaments and part of the larger ILTF Central American & Caribbean Circuit held in the Caribbean region usually over a period of two to three months between January and March each year. The circuit began in the mid-1920s reaching prominence during the 1950s and 1960s. It declined in importance in the early 1970s and was discontinued due to an increase in indoor tournaments being staged.
