Irish Open (badminton)

This tournament is currently a part of the European Badminton Circuit and takes place at the end of November every year as part of the home nations loop of international tournaments that include the Scottish Open and the Welsh Open in consecutive weeks.

The tournament for most part and in recent years has been an International Challenge rated event.

The recent exception was in 2012, 2017 & 2018 when the tournament was downgraded to International Series due to funding.

The December 2017 edition reverted to an International Series level tournament which saw three Irish players/pairs reach the final.

Notable past winners of the Irish Open are Carolina Marin(multiple Olympic and World Champion in women's singles) and multiple All England winner Tina Baun(nee Rasmussen).
