The Internationaux de France de Tennis (known as "French Open" in English speaking countries), also known as Roland-Garros, is a major tennis tournament held over two weeks at the Stade Roland-Garros in Paris, France, beginning in late May each year.

The tournament began in 1891 as Championnats de France and was held on grass courts at the Racing Club de France in the Bois de Boulogne. The tournament became the Internationaux de France, played on clay, in 1925.
