The United States National Snooker Championship is an annual snooker competition played in the United States and is the highest ranking amateur event in the US.
The competition was established in 1991 and was won by Tom Kollins, who went on to win the title again in 1992, 1998, 1999 and 2001.[1] Kollins holds the record of winning five titles jointly with Ahmed Aly Elsayed, the current Champion of 2019, who has also won the title in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2018.[2]
Both the winner and runner-up are automatically selected to represent the United States in the following IBSF World Snooker Championship,[3] and other annual international snooker events.
From 2014, due to a ruling by the IBSF, the Championship is now only open to U.S. citizens having previously also been open to U.S. permanent residents.
