The Brumana International[1] was a men's and women's international clay court tournament was founded in 1927. It was played at Brumana Country Club, Broumana, Lebanon until 1970 when it was discontinued.[2]
The tournament was first established in 1927 when it was held at the Friends' Syrian Mission, Broumana, Lebanon. The tournament was not staged continually due the political situation on the country and with the advent of the World War II.[2] Following the second world war the tournament was given a permanent home at the Broumana Country Club sports complex in 1952.[3] The tournament continued to be staged annually until 1975 when it was discontinued due to the Lebanon Civil War.[2] It would be 18 years before the tournament resumed again in 1993,[3] as the ATP Beirut Challenger event, which continued until 1995 when it was also abolished.[2] [3]
