The Oxford Open (OOT) has been an open tournament written and hosted by Oxford. Its first four iterations were all won by teams from the University of Chicago, which flew out every year to compete. Two of these (2014 and 2015) featured Chicago v. Chicago finals. The earlier of these results led to a heated exchange on Facebook among various members of the British quizzing community, in part because the second-place team was led by then-freshman Morgan Venkus, partially due to this dominance on the watered down difficulty of the science. Since 2017, Oxford Open has been won by British teams. The tournament is usually attended by a mixture of quizbowlers, both student teams and alumni, and teams with players from the wider British Quiz circuit, many of whom have been successful at tournaments such as the International Quizzing Association European Champions.

Since 2021, Oxford has combined forces with Cambridge to produce a tournament known as the Cambridge and Oxford Open Tournament (COOT).
