The '''1981 World Team Classic''' sponsored by State Express was the new name of the  team [[snooker]] tournament. It moved to the [[The Hexagon|Hexagon Theatre]] in [[Reading, Berkshire|Reading]] with seven teams competing as the Irish players were divided. Scotland competed for the first time which they lost to the Republic of Ireland in a play off to reach the round robin stage of the competition. All matches including the final were now played in the best of six matches with a tie break frame between the captains if it stayed 3–3. England won their first title with captain [[Steve Davis]] winning three of the four matches against [[Eddie Charlton]] of Australia, [[Dennis Taylor]] of Northern Ireland and [[Ray Reardon]] of Wales in the final.

[[Terry Griffiths]] made the highest break of the tournament, 123.<ref name="SCENE" />
