The tournament was run by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and was part of the 2018 ITF Wheelchair Tennis Tour. The event took place on indoor hard courts. It served as the season-ending championship for singles players on the ITF Wheelchair Tennis Tour.

The eight players who qualified for the men's and women's events, and six players who qualified for the quad event, were split into two groups of three or four. During this stage, players competed in a round-robin format (meaning players played against all the other players in their group).

The two players with the best results in each group progressed to the semifinals, where the winners of a group faced the runners-up of the other group. This stage, however, was a knock-out stage.{{cite web |url=https://www.lta.org.uk/major-tennis-events/international-events/nec-wheelchair-tennis-masters/about1/ |title=About the NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters |publisher=lta.org.uk |accessdate=24 July 2018 }}{{Dead link|date=February 2022 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
