The Judo Grand Slam tournaments are international judo tournaments held by the International Judo Federation as part of the IJF World Tour.^[1]

After the Olympic Games, World Championships and World Masters, the Grand Slam tournaments are the highest-ranking worldwide judo tournaments, i.e. the tournaments in which the judoka can acquire the most ranking points.^[2]

While some sources states that the first Grand Slam tournament was held in Tokyo in December 2008,^[3] the IJF titled it as "Kano Cup", not "Grand Slam".^[4] In 2009 additional tournaments were also held in Paris, Moscow and Rio de Janeiro. In 2013, Baku replaced Rio de Janeiro. Until 2013 there were four Grand Slam tournaments every year. In 2014 it was decided that a fifth tournament would be added which would be held in Abu Dhabi.^{[citation needed]} In 2019 two additional tournaments were added.^{[citation needed]}

9 Grand Slam tournaments are planned for 2022.^[5]
