 The 2019 World Snooker Championship was a professional snooker tournament that took place from 20 April to 6 May at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England. It was the 43rd consecutive year the World Snooker Championship had been held at the Crucible, and the 20th and final ranking event of the 2018/2019 season. The winner of the title was Judd Trump (pictured), who defeated John Higgins 18–9 in the final to claim his first World Championship, completing the Triple Crown. Defending champion Mark Williams lost 9–13 to David Gilbert in the second round. The tournament featured 100 century breaks, the highest number ever recorded at an official snooker event. The final match alone included 11 centuries, the most ever scored in the final of a ranking event. Higgins compiled the highest break, a 143, in his semifinal win over Gilbert. Shaun Murphy defeated Luo Honghao in the first round 10–0, the first whitewash at the World Championship since 1992.
