The 1976 Volvo International was a men's tennis tournament played on outdoor clay courts in North Conway, New Hampshire in the United States and was part of the 1976 Commercial Union Assurance Grand Prix circuit. It was the fourth edition of the tournament and was held from August 1 through August 8, 1976. Jimmy Connors won the singles title and the accompanying $10,000 first-prize money.[3] Due to persistent rainfall that preceded the arrival of Hurricane Belle the final was moved to the indoor courts at Algonquin Tennis Center.[4][5]
