The 1970 Player's No.6 World Snooker Championship was a snooker tournament that took place in April 1970. Like the previous year the final was held at the Victoria Hall in London, England,[2] and finished on 11 April 1970.[3] For the second and last time the event was sponsored by Player's No.6.[1]
Ray Reardon won in the final 37–33 against John Pulman. This year was the first of Reardon's six world titles; he held the title for only seven months until the next championship in Australia during November 1970.[4] Reardon also made the highest break of the tournament with 118.[5]
