2018 in cue sports

In 2018, championships were held across three continents to determine the best players in major cue sports, including snooker, pool, and English billiards. While these are mostly single player sports, some matches and tournaments are held as either doubles or as team events. The snooker season runs between May and April; the pool and billiards seasons run through the calendar year.

Mark Williams won his third World Snooker Championship in 2018.
Jasmin Ouschan won three Euro Tour events in 2018.
Ng On-yee won the 2018 World Women's Snooker Championship.

Four men's adult world championships were held in 2018, Mark Williams won the World Snooker Championship, Joshua Filler holding the WPA World Nine-ball Championship, Sourav Kothari the World Billiards Championship, and Dick Jaspers winning the UMB World Three-cushion Championship. Three women's world championships were also held, with Han Yu winning the WPA Women's World Nine-ball Championship, the World Billiards Championship being won by Emma Bonney and Ng On-yee winning the World Women's Snooker Championship.

The snooker Triple Crown featured Ronnie O'Sullivan winning the UK Championship, while the Masters was won by Mark Allen. In pool, the Mosconi Cup was won by the US team, with Skyler Woodward as the most valuable player.[1] Peter Gilchrist won seven events in billiards, while Reanne Evans won six women's snooker events. The events below are professional and pro-am cue sports tournaments from the year of 2018, as well as select amateur snooker events used for qualification to the World Snooker Tour.
