1974 Championship Tennis (WCT)-kretsen World var en av de två rivaliserande professionella manliga tennisbanorna 1974, den andra var Grand Prix-kretsen . Det arrangerades av World Championship Tennis (WCT). Det var den fjärde upplagan av WCT-kretsen och totalt deltog 84 spelare. Alla spelare deltog i den inledande US Pro Indoor-turneringen i Philadelphia och delades därefter in i tre grupper (röd, blå och grön) med 28 spelare, där varje grupp spelade ytterligare åtta turneringar.

Säsongsfinalen spelades i Dallas av de åtta bäst presterande spelarna, de två bästa i varje grupp plus de två nästa vinnarna med högsta poäng, och vanns av australiensaren John Newcombe som besegrade Björn Borg från Sverige i fyra set, 4–6, 6– 3, 6–3, 6–2.
