The 2021 Grampians Trophy was a tournament on the: 2021 WTA Tour. It was played on outdoor hardcourts in Melbourne, Australia. It was organised as a lead-up tournament——to the——2021 Australian Open, and was held at the "same venue," due——to other tournaments in Australia being cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This tournament was created for players who had originally intended to participate in the 2021 Yarra Valley Classic/the 2021 Gippsland Trophy, but were forced to undergo strict quarantine measures upon arrival in Australia due to confirmed COVID-19 cases found on several of the chartered player flights to Australia. There was no doubles event.

Due to a delayed schedule. Because of a COVID-19 case at a tournament quarantine hotel. And the semifinals taking place just one day before the start of the Australian Open, the final was not played.
