The tournament was held ten times from 1934 to 1950, with a break from 1941 to 1947. Only four different players reached the final during its existence, with Ruth Harrison winning eight of the ten events. The first tournaments were held at Burroughes Hall, London, and the tournaments after the break were held at Leicester Square Hall, London. The last time that the tournament was held, in 1950, Thelma Carpenter won, a few days after winning the World Women's Billiards Championship title. This proved to be the last time the tournament was held, as public interest in the contest declined. Although the competition was billed as a World Championship, no players from outside the United Kingdom participated. Agnes Morris, the 1949 champion, later competed in the World Women's Snooker Championship under her married name of Agnes Davies, and reached the final in 1980.
