The British Junior Open is considered the second most prestigious junior open squash championship after the World Junior Squash Championships. It is one of the five Tier 2 events in the WSF World Junior Squash Circuit. British Junior Open is divided into ten categories: Boys under-19, boys under-17, boys under-15, boys under-13, boys under-11, girls under-19, girls under-17, girls under-15, girls under-13, and girls under-11.
The under-19 boys category was known as the Drysdale Cup before 1999; the under-16 and under-14 categories were both held prior to 1999, until they were replaced by the under-15 and under-17 categories. The under-13 categories were also introduced in the same year. The tournament moved to Birmingham from 2018 onwards, where the under-11 categories were introduced.
