The BRD Năstase Țiriac Trophy is a professional tennis tournament played on outdoor clay courts. It is currently part of the ATP World Tour 250 series of the ATP Tour. It has been held annually in Bucharest, Romania, since 1993.

The tournament has yet to see a Romanian winner in singles (though the 2005 edition saw two Romanian players reaching the semifinals, and the 2007 edition saw Victor Hănescu reach the finals), but a Romanian pair (Andrei Pavel and Gabriel Trifu) did take home the doubles title in 1998.

The organizers announced that from 2012, the ATP World Tour 250 series tournament will be scheduled to take place in April, so it will end an age of 9 years when it took place in the last week of September.^[1]
