The 2026 Cincinnati Open marked the 98th women’s edition of the tournament.
The women’s edition count is separate from the men’s count. In the same year, Cincinnati staged its 125th men’s edition, reflecting the different starting points and historical development of the two competitions.
The 2026 women’s event was classified as a WTA 1000 tournament and was played on outdoor hard courts in Mason, Ohio. Coco Gauff won the singles title, while Marie Bouzková and Linda Nosková won the doubles championship.
The figure should not be confused with the tournament’s founding year or with the number of editions held in the Open Era. It specifically identifies the ordinal number of the women’s tournament edition in 2026.
