The World Junior Tennis competition was started by World Tennis - then known as the ITF - in 1991. In the inaugural year, 12 nations were nominated to take part with Spain boys and Czechoslovakia girls emerging the overall winners.
The format changed in 1992 when regional qualifying events were introduced, a system that is still used today with the top teams reaching the Finals.
The Finals were held in Japan until 1998, but the following year they were moved to the clay court venue of TK Plus Centre in Prostejov, Czechia. This venue continues to be used today.
A number of the past participants have gone on to become household names on the ATP and WTA tours.
The likes of Carlos Alcaraz, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Bianca Andreescu, Lorenzo Musetti, Katerina Siniakova, Juan Martin del Potro, Marketa Vondrousova, Alex de Minaur, Ash Barty, Felix Auger Aliassime and Frances Tiafoe have all represented their nations in ITF World Junior Tennis.
