The 2022 World Women's Snooker Championship was a women's snooker tournament that took place at the Ding Junhui Snooker Academy in Sheffield, England from 11 to 14 February 2022.[1] It is the first staging of the World Women's Snooker Championship since 2019, following an 18-month suspension of the World Women's Snooker Tour between March 2020 and August 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] In addition to receiving the newly renamed Mandy Fisher Trophy, the winner of the tournament will earn a place on the professional World Snooker Tour from the start of the 2022–23 snooker season.[3]
Reanne Evans was the defending champion, having defeated Nutcharut Wongharuthai 6–3 in the 2019 final to win her 12th women's world title.[4] However, Evans lost 1–4 to Wendy Jans in the quarter-finals, the first time in her career that she had not reached the semi-finals of the tournament.[5] Three-time champion Ng On Yee came from 0–3 behind in her quarter-final against Wongharuthai to force a deciding frame, but Wongharuthai won the match 4–3 on the final black.[5] Either Evans or Ng had won every women's world championship since 2005.[6] Their quarter-final losses meant that no former champion reached the semi-finals.[7]
Nutcharut Wongharuthai won the event, defeating Wendy Jans 6-5 in the final.
