The Burnie International is one of the longest running tournaments on the Australian Pro Tour and in the southern hemisphere in general.

Starting back in 2002 as a men's ITF Futures, the tournament has grown year-on-year until in 2009, it became the Burnie International when an ITF women's tournament was run alongside a men's ATP Challenger.

Featuring a loyal core of volunteers from within and without the Burnie Tennis Club, strong support from local council and state government, coupled with essential sponsorship from the local business community; the tournament has always been at the cutting edge of innovation and improvement.
