The 2014 UK Championship (officially the 2014 Coral UK Championship) was a professional ranking snooker tournament that took place between 25 November and 7 December 2014 at the Barbican Centre in York, England. It was the fifth ranking event of the 2014/2015 season.[1]

Neil Robertson was the defending champion,[2] but he lost 5–6 against Graeme Dott in the last 16. This result led to Ding Junhui becoming the first Asian player to reach the world number one ranking.[3]

Ronnie O'Sullivan won his fifth UK Championship and his 27th ranking title by defeating Judd Trump 10–9 in the final.[4][5] Trump had trailed 4–9 at one point during the evening session but fought back with 5 consecutive frames to level at 9–9 before O’Sullivan won the deciding frame.

Ronnie O'Sullivan made the 109th official maximum break during his last 16 match against Matthew Selt. This was O'Sullivan's 13th official 147 break and also the fourth maximum break in the 2014/2015 season[6] and the third time in a row that a maximum was made in a UK Championship.

Judd Trump made his 300th career century during his last-64 match against Fraser Patrick.[7]

Starting in this year the Semi-finals were reduced from the best of 17 frames to the best of 11 frames. This meant that all rounds up to the Semi-finals were played using the best of 11 frames format. The final was still played over the best of 19 frames. This is the format that is still being used to the current day.
