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 4–1 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 4–0.[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]
