The World Mixed Doubles is a professional snooker team tournament. The reigning champions are Neil Robertson and Mink Nutcharut.

History

The event was first played in 1991, in Hamburg, Germany and won by Steve Davis and Allison Fisher, who defeated Stephen Hendry and Stacey Hillyard by 5–4 in the final.[1] After a 30-year hiatus, the event was re-introduced to the 2022/23 snooker season in September 2022, in Milton Keynes, England. The 2022 edition featured four teams made up of the top four ranked players each from the World Snooker Tour and the World Women's Snooker Tour.[2] World number four Neil Robertson and the reigning women's world champion Mink Nutcharut defeated Mark Selby and Rebecca Kenna by 4–2 to win the event, receiving £30,000 each in prize money.[3] The event will return in the same format in the 2023/24 snooker season, at Manchester Central in Manchester, England, immediately before the 2024 Tour Championship.
