The tournament is held in honor of Kitty Harrison, the longtime head coach of the Carolina women's tennis team from 1976 to 1998. Eight of Harrison's 22 teams were ranked among the top 25 nationally and, under her direction, Carolina won four ACC championships in a row from 1977 to 1980 and finished as the league runner-up four other times.

Harrison retired after the 1997-98 season as the winningest tennis coach in ACC history in terms of dual-match victories with a 22-year record of 351-224. She was inducted into the North Carolina Tennis Hall of Fame in 2004.
