Generalized Ricci-recurrent trans-Sasakian manifolds are studied. Among others, it is proved that a generalized Ricci-recurrent cosymplectic manifold is always recurrent Generalized Ricci-recurrent trans-Sasakian manifolds of dimension $geq$ 5 are locally classified. It is also proved that if M is one of Sasakian, $alpha$-Sasakian, Kenmotsu or $eta$-Kenmotsu manifolds, which is gener-alized Ricci-recurrent with cyclic Ricci tensor and non-zero A (ξ) everywhere; then M is an Einstein manifold.
