==History==
The '''Internationaux de tennis junior de Repentigny''' is a junior tennis tournament played on outdoor hard courts. It is currently part of the ITF Junior Circuit. It has been held annually in Repentigny, Québec, Canada since 1986. It is classified as a G1 tournament. The tournament was held in Ottawa, Ontario
In 1949, the Canadian Lawn Tennis Association (now known as Tennis Canada) formed a junior development committee. Eddie Condon, a member of the club and the Canadian Lawn Tennis Association inner circle, offered to organize a tournament in which juniors from all parts of Canada could compete. Although in prior years there had been junior events held as part of the Canadian championships, 1949 saw the Canadian Junior Championships as an official tournament for the first time. There were 9 events in the under 15 and under 18 age groups at first. Condon, helped by a team of devoted volunteers, ran the event at the Rideau from 1949 to 1967 and in 1969 and 1973. In 1953, closed and open divisions and an under 13 age group were introduced.
