1976 Commercial Union Assurance Grand Prix var en professionell tennisbana som administrerades av International Lawn Tennis Federation (ILTF) som fungerade som en föregångare till den nuvarande Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) World Tour och Women's Tennis Association (WTA) Tour. Kretsen bestod av de fyra moderna Grand Slam- turneringarna och öppna turneringar som erkändes av ILTF. Commercial Union Assurance Masters ingår i denna kalender men räknades inte in i Grand Prix-rankingen.

Poängsystem

Turneringarna ovan var uppdelade i sex grupper. Grupp TC bestod av Triple Crown – French Open, Wimbledon Championships och US Open – medan de andra turneringarna fick stjärnbetyg från fem stjärnor till en stjärna, baserat på prispengar och dragningsstorlek. Poäng tilldelades baserat på dessa betyg och slutpositionen för en spelare i en turnering. Inga poäng gavs till förlorare i första omgången, och oavgjort avgjordes av antalet spelade turneringar. Poängfördelningen, med dubbla poäng inom parentes, är följande:

Ställningar

1976 års Grand Prix-turneringar var indelade i sex separata poängkategorier, allt från Triple Crown-turneringarna (150 poäng för vinnaren) till de minsta One Star-turneringarna (40 poäng för vinnaren). I slutet av året fick de 35 topprankade spelarna en bonus från bonuspoolen. För att kvalificera sig för en bonus måste en spelare ha spelat ett minsta antal en- och tvåstjärniga turneringar. De topp åtta poäng rankade singelspelarna och de fyra bästa dubbellagen hade rätt att delta i den säsongsavslutande Masters-turneringen .
