The Manchester Trophy, now known as the Fuzion 100 Manchester Trophy and previously known as the Aegon Manchester Trophy, is a professional tennis tournament played on outdoor grass courts. It was previously part of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Challenger Tour and now currently part of the International Tennis Federation (ITF) Women's Circuit. It is held annually at the Northern Lawn Tennis Club in the Didsbury suburb of Manchester, England, United Kingdom, since 1995.
