The 1973 WTA Tour (officially: Virginia Slims Circuit and Commercial Union Grand Prix ) was the 3rd year of the women's tennis tournament series.

Like the Grand Slam tournaments, the Federation Cup team competition is not organized by the WTA but by the ITF . It is still listed because the top players usually play there too.
