The tournament served as the successor to the earlier Romanian International Championships (1930–1983). The tournament was founded in 1993 and became part of the ATP World Tour 250 series.

Held annually in Bucharest, Romania, it took its name from Romania’s legendary tennis players, Ilie Năstase and Ion Țiriac.

Interestingly, despite its Romanian roots, the tournament never saw a Romanian singles champion. However, a Romanian pair (Andrei Pavel and Gabriel Trifu) secured the doubles title in 1998. Horia Tecău achieved a remarkable feat by winning three consecutive doubles titles (2012, 2013, and 2014) with different partners.

Fernando Verdasco claimed the title in the last edition of the Romanian Open in 2016. 

French player Gilles Simon holds the record for the most titles in Bucharest, having won it three times (in 2007, 2008, and 2012). Other notable champions include Grigor Dimitrov (2014) and David Ferrer (2002).

After 2016, the ATP relocated the tournament to Budapest. Now in 2024 it is back.
