In 1929, the Singapore Badminton Association (SBA) was established to promote the sport and organise competitions. Its first official annual open championships was held in that same year with the best players chosen to represent Singapore in the regional tournaments.[2] In 1957, it became an open invitation championship and was held annually until 1973.[3][4] In 1987–1989, the tournament was known as the Konica Cup, an invitation championship exclusively for Asian players, and in 1990, for the first time entered the International Badminton Federation Grand Prix circuit.[5] In 2007, Singapore Open was part of the BWF Super Series event.[6] In 2018, it was designated as one of the seven BWF World Tour Super 500 events.[7]
The tournament has been historically held at six main venues, and is now played at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore.
