# 1989 International Open

The 1989 International Open (officially the 1989 BCE International Open) was a professional ranking snooker tournament that took place in September 1989 at Trentham Gardens in Stoke-on-Trent, England.
This year there was no television coverage after ITV pulled out due to the championship having lower ratings than the other three tournaments they were showing. This also caused the previous sponsor Fidelity Unit Trusts to pull out with BCE stepping in for this year. With no TV coverage and a lack of sponsorship this was the last International until 1993.
Steve Davis retained the title by defeating Stephen Hendry 9–4 in the final.
