History[edit]

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 new Northern Ireland Open and Scottish Open tournaments.[1][2] The winner of the event is awarded the Steve Davis Trophy, named in honour of the English six-time world champion.[3]

The inaugural event took place between 10 and 16 October 2016,[4] and was won by Liang Wenbo.[5]
