"The room here at the Commercial Club is probably one of the best in the southern hemisphere," Australian Billiards and Snooker Council president Frank Dewens said.
"It's got 10 tables and there's only two other similar venues in the country, there's one in Victoria with eight tables and there's another in South Australia with 12."
Albury will host the Australian Junior Billiards, Snooker and Pool competitions over the next fortnight.
Billiards and snooker started on Sunday and will continue until next Sunday, with pool scheduled for the second week.

Albury is halfway through a three-year deal with up to 40 of Australia's best from under 12s to 18s entered.
"Some of the under 18s in previous years are making century breaks, one in particular is Neil Robertson, who came through this program and he was the world champion in snooker."
