Ireland Ken Doherty (a) 18-12 Scotland Stephen Hendry (a) Head to head
Doherty won the only world title of his professional career and the first player to win world championships at junior, amateur, and professional level. He became the second player from outside the United Kingdom to win the title in the modern era, following Cliff Thorburn in 1980. Doherty remains the only world champion from the Republic of Ireland.

Hendry's defeat in the final was his first loss in the World Championship since 1991, which ended his record of 29 consecutive Crucible victories.

Alan Chamberlain refereed his first and only World Championship final. He was the first referee since Jim Thorpe in 1984 to officiate a debut final. All finals up to this year were officiated by either John Williams, Len Ganley or John Street.
