2014 UK Open

The 2014 Coral UK Open was a darts tournament staged by the Professional Darts Corporation. It was the twelfth year of the tournament where, following numerous regional qualifying heats throughout Britain, players competed in a single elimination tournament to be crowned champion. The tournament was held at the Butlin's Resort in Minehead, England, between 7–9 March 2014, and had the nickname, "the FA Cup of darts" as a random draw was staged after each round until the final.

Phil Taylor was the defending champion, but he suffered a huge upset by losing 9–7 to Aden Kirk in the third round.

Adrian Lewis won the fourth major title of his career beating Terry Jenkins 11–1 in the final.
