The English Amateur Championship is an annual snooker competition, the highest-ranking and most prestigious amateur event in England. It is also the oldest and longest-running snooker tournament in the world, having been established in 1916, three years before the standard rules of the game were first formulated in 1919 by the Billiards Association and Control Club and 11 years before the first World Snooker Championship.
Five winners of the tournament later became world champion: John Pulman, Ray Reardon, John Spencer, Terry Griffiths and Stuart Bingham. Three of the losing finalists—Joe Johnson, John Parrott and Ronnie O'Sullivan—also lifted the world title as professionals.
