Amelia Island Championships var en tennisturnering for kvinder, som blev spillet på grusbaner hvert forår i perioden fra 1980 til 2010 i nærheden af Jacksonville, Florida, USA. Turneringen blev markedsført under flere forskellige navne i løbet af dens levetid på grund af skiftende sponsorer, bl.a. Bausch & Lomb Championships og The MPS Group Championships.

Turneringen blev spillet i Amelia Island Plantation i Amelia Island fra 1980 til 2008 – fra 1987 under navnet Bausch & Lomb Championships. Den mistede imidlertid sin titelsponsor, Bausch & Lomb, som ikke forlængede sin kontrakt efter turneringen i 2008. Arrangøren Octagon hyrede Axia Public Relations, et PR-firma, til at finde en ny titelsponsor. I august 2008 kunne Axia og Octagon offentliggøre MPS Group fra Jacksonville som turneringens nye officielle titelsponsor. Octagon flyttede samtidig turneringen 40 km sydpå til Sawgrass Country Club i Ponte Vedra Beach til bedre faciliteter og for at tiltrække et større publikum.

Den 21. maj 2010 offentliggjorde arrangørerne, at turneringen ikke ville blive afholdt i 2011. WTA Tour ønskede at reducere antallet af forårsturneringer afviklet på grus, og MPS Group Championships havde den laveste præmiesum. Touren tilbød alternative terminer i februar og juli, men ingen arena var ledig i februar, og juli egner sig ikke til turneringstennis i Florida på grund af varmen.[1]

En af den mest usædvanlig kampe i tennishistorien blev spillet på Amelia Island i 2002. Anne Kremer besejrede Jennifer Hopkins med 5-7, 6-4, 6-2 i en kamp, hvor spillerne tilsammen begik 29 dobbeltfejl. Efter kampen afslørede en kontrolmåling af banen, at servefelterne ved en fejl var blevet udmålt tre fod kortere end reglerne foreskrev.[2]
