The Avon Futures of Puerto Rico was a defunct tennis tournament founded in 1977 as the Borniquen Tennis Classic. It was held in San Juan in Puerto Rico and was played on outdoor hard courts. It was the successor event to the early Caribe Hilton Invitational that was a combined men's and women's tournament. This event ran until 1978 when it was discontinued. In 1986 a successor women's event was established called the Puerto Rico Open, initially played in San Juan.
