The WTA Elite Trophy (also known as the Huafa Technology WTA Elite Trophy for sponsorship reasons) was the second-tier year-end professional women's tennis tournament on the WTA Tour. It was the successor event of the different format WTA Tournament of Champions, which took place from 2009–14.

The Elite Trophy took place at the end of each season, in two disciplines: singles and doubles. The singles event featured 12 players (11 of them ranked from 9th to 19th on the final table of the WTA ranking, and one wildcard). The players were split into four groups of three, with the group winners advancing to the single elimination semifinals. The doubles event featured six teams in two groups with the group winners contesting the final.^[1]

The inaugural edition was held in 2015, offering $2.15 million in prize money. Zhuhai, China hosted the WTA Elite Trophy for the first five years through 2019. The tournament then took a hiatus between 2020 and 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Peng Shuai controversy. In 2023, the event returned and was once again staged in Zhuhai.
