The European Open was a real tennis tournament held annually at Lord's Cricket Ground in London, England.
It was a ranking point tournament for the purposes of qualifying for the Real Tennis World Championship.
In 1995 it was converted as an invitational singles tournament in Bordeaux, with the first edition won by Lauchlan Deuchar.
It continued to be hosted on an irregular basis at Fontainebleau and Paris in 1996 and 1998 before moving to the United Kingdom in 2003 at Prested Hall.
