The Eurocard Open was an annual tennis tournament for male professional players. The event was held annually in Stuttgart, Germany, and was played on indoor carpet from 1990 until 1995 during February maintaining Championship Series status on the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Tour.

Before 1990, during years 1988–1989 the tournament was organized as an invitational round-robin exhibition for 8 players.

Starting 1996 the tournament was upgraded to Tennis Masters Series. In 1995–1996 the ATP calendar underwent the interesting tournament swap among indoor events. Stockholm Super 9 event was downgraded to World Series status replaced by Essen as Tennis Masters Series. Antwerp event was dropped from calendar to make a room for Stockholm. In 1996 Stuttgart Indoor played in February replaced Essen and Antwerp again return to the calendar to fill a hole in February term instead of Stuttgart.

In the year 2002 the tournament was discontinued and the rights to organize Tennis Masters Series event in October were moved to Madrid Masters.
