The 2023 World Women's Snooker Championship, scheduled to be staged at the Hi-End Snooker Club in Bangkok, Thailand from 28 February to 4 March 2023, will be the 2023 edition of the World Women's Snooker Championship.[1] The event will be sponsored by the venue and by the Billiard Sports Association of Thailand.[2] The winner of the tournament will earn a place on the professional World Snooker Tour from the start of the 2023–24 snooker season.[1]
Mink Nutcharut is the defending champion, having defeated Wendy Jans 6–5 in the final of the 2022 championship to win the title for the first time.[3][4]
The closing date for entries to the tournament was 27 January 2023,[2] but was later extended until 17 February.[5]
Background
The Women's Professional Snooker Championship was held ten times from 1934 to 1950, with a break from 1941 to 1947. Ruth Harrison won eight of the ten events.[6] In 1976, a Women's World Open was held; next staged in 1980, these events are recognised as the beginning of the World Women's Snooker Championship.[7][8] Reanne Evans has won a record 12 titles, including ten consecutive victories from 2005 to 2014.[9]
