The 1974 Commercial Union Assurance Grand Prix was a professional
tennis circuit administered by the
International Lawn Tennis Federation (ILTF) which served as a forerunner to the current
Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) World Tour and the
Women's Tennis Association (WTA) Tour.
[1] The circuit consisted of the four modern
Grand Slam tournaments and open tournaments recognised by the ILTF. The season-ending
Commercial Union Assurance Masters and
Davis Cup Final are included in this calendar but did not count towards the Grand Prix ranking.
[2]
Schedule
The Grand Prix circuit was scheduled from May until December so that it would not to conflict with the competing
World Championship Tennis circuit which ran from January until early May.

Points system
The tournaments of the Grand Prix circuit were divided into five groups. Group TC consisted of the Triple Crown events—the French Open, the Wimbledon Championships, and the US Open—while the other tournaments were divided into four other groups—AA, A, B, and C—by prize money and draw size. Group AA tournaments had a minimum prize money of $100,000 while the minimum for Group A, B and C tournaments was $75,000, $50,000 and $25,000 respectively. Points were allocated based on these groups and the finishing position of a player in a tournament. No points were awarded to first-round losers, and ties were settled by the number of tournaments played. Grand Prix points were also allocated to doubles results for the first time this year and are listed in brackets in the points allocation below:
