The 1999 WPA World Nine-ball Championship was a professional pool championship that took place in 1999 in Alicante, Spain. The event is not to be confused with Matchroom Sport's 1999 World Professional Pool Championship that took place earlier in the same year, won by Efren Reyes. [2] Despite there being two world titles for the same discipline in 1999, both are considered as valid in 1999 by the World Pool-Billiard Association. [2] [3]
