The Omaha Open, also known as the Midlands International Indoor, was a men's tennis tournament founded in 1969 as the Omaha International Indoor. It was played in Omaha, Nebraska, until 1974. The event was part of the USLTA Indoor Circuit and was held on indoor carpet courts at the City Auditorium. The tournament was canceled in March 1975, less than three weeks before the scheduled start of its seventh edition because the participation of top players could no be guaranteed.
