The 2009 World Ladies Snooker Championship was the 2009 edition of the World Women's Snooker Championship, first held in 1976,[1] and was played at Cambridge Snooker Centre from 4 to 8 April.[2] The tournament was won by Reanne Evans, who achieved her fifth consecutive world title by defeating Maria Catalano 5–2 in the final. Evans received £800 prize money for her win.[3] She also made the highest break of the tournament, 89.[4]

There were four round-robin qualifying groups of seven players each, with the top two players in each group progressing into the knockout stage.[5] Hannah Jones, aged 12, won the under-21 title in an event run alongside the main tournament. Jones, partnering Jaique Ip, also won the double competition.[6]
