Irish Masters (snooker)

The Irish Masters is a professional snooker tournament. It was founded in 1978, but only became a ranking tournament from the 2002/03 season.

In 1998, Ken Doherty claimed the title despite losing in the final 9 frames to 3 after his opponent, Ronnie O'Sullivan, failed a subsequent drugs test.
