The Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) started in 2007 and is the first major poker tour in this region. Like its counterparts the European Poker Tour and Latin American Poker Tour, it is sponsored by PokerStars. The tour was created by President Jeffrey Haas and Director of Marketing Sarne Lightman. Danny McDonagh is the Tournament Director. 441 Productions produce the APPT for television.

The second season runs from September to December 2008 with six events held across five locations: Macau (China); Seoul (South Korea); Auckland (New Zealand); Manila (Philippines); and Sydney (Australia).
