The 1988 Women's World Snooker Championship was a women's snooker tournament that took place in October 1988. It was the 1988 edition of the World Women's Snooker Championship, first held in 1976.[1] Holiday Club Pontins provided prize money totalling £10,000[2] and the event was held at their resort in Brixham.[3]
The tournament was won by Allison Fisher, who lost only one frame during the event and defeated Ann-Marie Farren 6–1 in the final.[2] This was Fisher's third world snooker title, and she would go on to win a total of seven championships before focusing her efforts on pool in the United States from 1995.[1][4]
