The tournament uses a unique format not seen in other ATP Tour events, where the singles players and doubles teams are separated into two groups of four, within which they each play three [[Round-robin tournament|round-robin]] matches. After the round-robin stage, the top two performers from each group play in [[Single-elimination tournament|knock-out]] semifinals and a final to determine the champion(s).

The tournament was first held in 1970, shortly after the beginning of the [[Open Era]]. [[Novak Djokovic]] holds the record for the most singles titles with seven, while [[Peter Fleming (tennis)|Peter Fleming]] and [[John McEnroe]] jointly hold the record for the most doubles titles with seven (all won consecutively as a team).

In the tournament's current format, the champion can earn a maximum of 1,500 ranking points, if they win the event after going undefeated in the round-robin stage. By winning the [[2022 ATP Finals|2022]] title, Djokovic earned a record $4,740,300, the highest payout for a tournament winner in tennis.<ref>{{Cite web |date=19 November 2022 |title=Djokovic Nitto ATP Finals 2022 SF Reaction {{!}} Nitto ATP Finals {{!}} Tennis |url=http://www.nittoatpfinals.com/en/news/djokovic-nitto-atp-finals-2022-sf-reaction |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221120232126/https://www.nittoatpfinals.com/en/news/djokovic-nitto-atp-finals-2022-sf-reaction |archive-date=20 November 2022 |website=Nitto ATP Finals}}</ref> Also that year, [[Rajeev Ram]] and [[Joe Salisbury]] claimed $930,300, the highest payout in doubles history.<ref>{{Cite web |date=20 November 2022 |title=Ram Salisbury Mektic Pavic Turin 2022 Doubles Final {{!}} Nitto ATP Finals {{!}} Tennis |url=http://www.nittoatpfinals.com/en/news/ram-salisbury-mektic-pavic-turin-2022-doubles-final |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221120223657/https://www.nittoatpfinals.com/en/news/ram-salisbury-mektic-pavic-turin-2022-doubles-final |archive-date=2022-11-20 |website=Nitto ATP Finals}}</ref>
