2014 General Cup

The 2014 General Cup was a professional non-ranking snooker tournament that took place between 12 and 18 October 2014 at the General Snooker Club in Hong Kong.

Barry Hawkins was to take part in the tournament, but he was replaced by Liang Wenbo due to a neck injury.

The General Cup marked the return of Ali Carter, who was playing in his first event since his chemotherapy treatment, having been diagnosed with testicular cancer that had spread to his lungs in May. Carter intended to take part in the Bulgarian Open, but he was forced to withdraw.

Mark Davis was the defending champion, but he lost 2–6 against Ali Carter in the semi-final.

Carter won his sixth professional title by defeating Shaun Murphy 7–6 in the final.
