The English Open is a professional ranking snooker tournament, one of the four events of the Home Nations Series. The winner is awarded the Steve Davis Trophy, named in honour of the English six-time world champion. The reigning champion is Neil Robertson.

History

On 29 April 2015 World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn announced that the event called the "English Open" would be held for the first time in 2016 in Manchester, England, as part of a new Home Nations Series, with the existing Welsh Open and Scottish Open and the new Northern Ireland Open tournaments. The inaugural event took place between 10 and 16 October 2016, and was won by Liang Wenbo.
