On 29 April 2015 World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn announced that the event called English Open will 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 English Open is awarded the Davis Trophy which is named in honour of former World Champion Steve Davis.[3]
The inaugural event took place between 10 and 16 October 2016,[4] and was won by China's Liang Wenbo.[5]
