The 1980 Tolly Cobbold Classic was the second edition of the professional invitational snooker tournament, which took place in February 1980.
The tournament was played at the Corn Exchange in Ipswich, and featured four professional players competing in a round-robin; the two players at the top of the group contested the final, and a play-off was held to determine the third-placed player.
Alex Higgins won the title for the second time in succession, beating Dennis Taylor 5–4 in the final.[1]
