The Orléans Masters championships is an open badminton tournament held in France. This tournament is organized by the Cercle Laïque des Tourelles Orléans Badminton and held in the Palais des Sports in Orléans.
This tournament began as a regional event in 1994, and later became a national event in 1999. In 2012, this tournament was known as the French International, a part of the European circuit, and sanctioned by the Badminton World Federation as International Series. The French International upgraded its level as the International Challenge in 2013, and changed its name to Orléans International in 2015, to avoid confusion with the already established French Open held in Paris.
In June 2017, the Badminton World Federation accepted the candidacy of CLTO to organize a higher ranking tournament. Thus, from 2018 and for a period of four years, the Orléans International became the Orléans Masters and entered the 30 best badminton tournaments in the world as BWF Tour Super 100 level, with a total monetary prize of $65,000. This is equivalent to the previous Grand Prix level tournaments prior to the World Tour. From 2023 onwards, it has become a Super 300 tournament.
