The 1969 World Championship Tennis circuit and 1969 Men's National Tennis League were separate tours but are included in this article. This was the last season before the Grand Prix tennis circuit (organized by the ITF) took over organizing the top level tournaments in men's tennis, while competing with the World Championship Tennis circuit.
