The Avon Futures of Idaho was a USLTA/WTA affiliated indoor hard court tennis tournament founded in 1977 as the Futures of Boise. It was first played at the Boise Racquet and Swim Club, in Boise, Idaho, United States. The event ran annually until 1980 when it was discontinued.
The Futures of Boise (later known as the Avon Futures of Idaho) served as a critical early-season stop on the womenâÂÂs developmental Avon Futures Circuit from the late 1970s through 1980. Established to provide up-and-coming players a platform to earn qualifying points for the elite Virginia Slims and Avon Championships, the event was held indoors on the hard courts of the Boise Racquet and Swim Club.
The tournamentâÂÂs transition in 1979 to the Avon Futures brand reflected a standardized era of sponsorship that helped professionalize the lower-tier circuit, offering a $25,000 purse that attracted international prospects and top American collegiate talent.
By 1980, the tournament had reached its peak visibility as the Avon Futures of Idaho before the circuit's structural reorganization consolidated many of these regional developmental stops.
