It was staged briefly in Bristol, England, in 1896, then from 1920 onwards was hosted again in Bristol annually until the tournament ceased in 1989. The tournament was played on grass courts in the weeks preceding the Wimbledon Championships usually June.

==History== The West of England Championships were originally held in Bath<ref name="Nauright and Parrish"/> from 1881 until 1895; the tournament then transferred to Bristol in 1896. In 1897 the event ceased for period of 24 years. It was reinstated in 1920 and was played in Bristol for the remainder of its run. At the start of the Open Era the tournament was part of the independent tour circuit. In 1971 the event was renamed the '''Bristol Open'''; the men's event became part of the World Championship Tennis tour and the women's was part of the International Grand Prix. The women's event stopped in 1973 and was not held again. Although the men's tournament also stopped in 1973, it was reinstated in 1980 and became part of the Grand Prix tennis circuit until 1989.

==Finals== '''Notes:''' Challenge round: the final round of a tournament, in which the winner of a single-elimination phase faces the previous year's champion, who plays only that one match. The challenge round was used in the early history of tennis (from 1877 through 1921),<ref>{{cite web|title=Abolition of Challenge rounds|url=https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19220320.2.111.2?query=Paris%20International%20Championships|via=Papers Past|work=EVENING POST|volume=CIII|issue=65|date=20 March 1922|accessdate=6 October 2016}}</ref> in some tournaments not all.{{center|* Indicates challenger}}
