The 2024 UK Women's Snooker Championship (officially the 2024 Taom UK Women's Snooker Championship) was a women's snooker tournament that took place from 6 to 8 September 2024 at the Northern Snooker Centre in Leeds, England. It was organised by World Women's Snooker. [1]

Reanne Evans was the defending champion, having defeated Bai Yulu 41 in the 2023 final. [2] In the semi-finals, Bai defeated world number one Mink Nutcharut 4–1, after winning the first frame by a single point and then losing the second frame. [3] Evans, winner of the title in the previous four years, and seeking a 13th UK title, lost the first frame of her semi-final match to Rebecca Kenna but went on to prevail 4–1. [3]

In a repeat of the 2023 final, Bai defeated Evans 40. [4] It was the first time since 2012 that neither Evans or Ng On-yee had won the title. [3] Snooker Scene reporter Annette Lord wrote that the final was "one way traffic" as Bai "capitalised on a below par Evans performance"; Evans's highest break during the final was 14. [3]

The highest break of the tournament was the 99 made by Bai in the third frame of her semi-final match. [3] [5]

In side events, Jasmine Bolsover won the Challenge Cup, contested by players who did not reach the quarter-finals of the main competition, defeating Amee Kamani 2–1 in the final after eliminating Ellise Scott, Zoe Killington, Sarah Dunn and Chloe Payne in earlier rounds. [3] Tessa Davidson took the Seniors title with a 2–0 win over Dunn. [3] Scott, aged 13, won the under-21 title with a 2–1 defeat of Payne. [3]

Format

The top five players—Reanne Evans, Bai Yulu, Mink Nutcharut, Ng On-yee and Rebecca Kenna—were seeded through to the last-16. The remaining players were drawn in eight groups, each containing four players. Those matches were played as the best of 3 frames . The top two players from each group qualified for the knockout stage: the six best group winners progressed to the last-16, while the remaining ten had to play a preliminary round. The first knockout round, the last-16 round and the quarter-finals were played as the best of 5 frames. The semi-finals and the final were played as the best of 7 frames. [6] [7] [4]
