The defending champion is Reanne Evans who won the 2019 World Women's Snooker Championship with a 6–3 victory against Nutcharut Wongharuthai in the final to win her twelfth world championship title. The 2019 event was also held at the Hi-End Snooker Club.[2][3]
It was announced on 31 March 2020 that the tournament would be postponed until later in 2020, as World Women's Snooker felt that it was unfair to hold the tournament at a time when many players would not be able to travel there.[4]
