2024–25 snooker world rankings

2024–25

Succeeded by 2025–26

The sport of professional snooker has had a world ranking system in place since 1976. ^[1] Certain tournaments were given "ranking" status, with the results at those events contributing to a player's world ranking. The events that made up the 1976–77 snooker season were the first to award players with ranking points. ^[1] Originally, the world rankings were decided based only on results in the World Snooker Championship, but other events were later added. ^[1] The system used for the 2024–25 snooker season was first used in the 2010–11 season, where players won ranking points based entirely on prize money won from these events. ^[2] The rankings are based on the prior two seasons, with eight revisions after specific tournaments throughout the season. ^[3] These revisions are used as official rankings, with points awarded in the current season overwriting those from two years prior. ^[2]

Mark Allen began the season as the highest ranked player until he was surpassed by Judd Trump after the 2024 Xi'an Grand Prix. Trump retained number one status for the remainder of the 2024–25 snooker season.
