The men's event started in 1881 at the Toronto Lawn tennis Club and the women's tournament started in 1892. The tournament was first played in clay until 1979 when it shifted permanently to hard courts. The event became a part of the US Open Series, in the build-up to the US Open Grand Slam in 2004. The event is played alternately in Montreal and Toronto from year to year. Since 1980 in odd-numbered years the men's tournament is held in Montreal. On the other hand, the women's event is held in Toronto, and vice versa in even-numbered years.

The Rogers Cup 2019 was the 130th edition of the tournament. The 2020 edition was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
