The '''Indianapolis Tennis Championships''' was an annual men's tennis tournament played in [[Indianapolis]] as part of the [[Association of Tennis Professionals|ATP Tour]]. Since its inaugural playing in 1987, the tournament was held for one week in July up until its final playing in 2009. Originally known as the U.S. Men's Claycourt Championships, the event was created after the Indianapolis Sports Center decided to resurface its 18 clay courts with Deco-Turf II, the same surface as the [[US Open (tennis)|US Open]]. As a consequence, the [[U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships]] was moved from Indianapolis to [[Charleston, South Carolina]]. From 1992 to 2006 it was known as the RCA Championships.<ref name="mcmanus">{{cite book|last=McManus|first=Jim|author-link=Jim McManus (tennis)|title=History of Tournaments: Professional Tennis Winners and Runner-ups|year=2010|publisher=MAC and Company Publishing|location=Pont Vedra Beach|pages=278–281|isbn=9781450728331}}</ref>

The tournament's change in surface and name came with a change of date to be closer to the start of the US Open. The event gained the attention of the world's best players and became a premier warm-up stop for the US Open.

The tournament ended in 2009 and a new tournament in [[Atlanta Open (tennis)|Atlanta]] replaced it in 2010.
