The English Partnership for Snooker and Billiards (EPSB), established in the Summer of 2015,[1] describes itself as "an umbrella organisation that aligns the interests of the affiliated bodies and creates projects to inspire and drive awareness of snooker and billiards."[2]

It has been responsible for the governance of amateur snooker in England since June 2019, when a resolution was passed by the English Association of Snooker and Billiards (EASB) to transfer its assets and operations to the EPSB.[3][4] It organises tournaments including the English Amateur Championship.[5]

The EPSB has four affiliated bodies:[2]

The English Association of Snooker and Billiards was previously an affiliated organisation.[1]
