Irish Open (badminton)

The Irish Open or International Championships of Ireland or Irish International are one of the oldest international badminton tournaments in the world. They first took place in 1902, but were interrupted by the two world wars. In 2013 the title fights will be held for the 100th time. National title fights have existed in Ireland since 1912. In 2012, the lower-ranking Irish Future Series was held for the first time , with which the Irish Open should not be confused.
