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.
Reanne Evans was the defending champion, having defeated Bai Yulu 41 in the 2023 final. In the semi-finals, Bai defeated world number one Mink Nutcharut 4âÂÂ1, after winning the first frame by a single point and then losing the second frame. 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 4âÂÂ1.
In a repeat of the 2023 final, Bai defeated Evans 40. It was the first time since 2012 that neither Evans or Ng On-yee had won the title. 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.
The highest break of the tournament was the 99 made by Bai in the third frame of her semi-final match.
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 2âÂÂ1 in the final after eliminating Ellise Scott, Zoe Killington, Sarah Dunn and Chloe Payne in earlier rounds. Tessa Davidson took the Seniors title with a 2âÂÂ0 win over Dunn. Scott, aged 13, won the under-21 title with a 2âÂÂ1 defeat of Payne.
