The 1985 Women's World Snooker Championship was a women's snooker tournament that took place in October 1985 at Breaks Snooker Club, Solihull. The competition was sponsored by First Leisure and Mitchells & Butlers and attracted 78 entrants.[1][2] It was the 1985 edition of the World Women's Snooker Championship, first held in 1976.[3]
The tournament was won by Allison Fisher, who lost only one frame during the event and defeated Stacey Hillyard 5–1 in the final.[4][5] Fisher received £1,250 prize money for her win.[1] This was Fisher's first 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.[3][6]
