The European Masters (officially the BetVictor European Masters) was a professional ranking snooker tournament that has been staged periodically since 1989 as the European Open. Between 2005 and 2008 it was known as the Malta Cup and was the sole ranking tournament in Europe outside the British Isles before being discontinued. The event was resurrected in its latest form from 2016 to 2023, when it was being discontinued again along with the wider European Series.
