Pot Black Cup

The Ted Lowe Pot Black Cup, known as the Star Ted Lowe Pot Black Cup for sponsorship purposes, is a professional invitational snooker event. The event is held every year, a week after the final of the World Snooker Championship - on a completely invitational basis. It generally includes the current world champion and world number one, as well as a few historic legends of the game. Every match is played over one frame, thus the tournament is completed in a few hours. The highest break in the history of the competition is a maximum 147 break, which Ronnie O'Sullivan compiled in the final of the 2009 edition, against Peter Ebdon.

The event was first held in 2005, and was a continual event on the snooker calendar until 2007. In 2008, the event was open to players only outside the worlds top 16, but in 2009 reverted back to its historic format.

In 2013, the WPBSA renamed the event in honour of the legendary snooker commentator and creator of the original Pot Black, Ted Lowe.

Judd Trump is the reigning champion.
