William Hill Sports Book of the Year

William Hill, Birleşik Krallık'ta kurulan bir bahis firması. Ladbrokes ve Coral firmaları ile beraber "Üç Büyükler" olarak anılıyor. 1934 yılında faaliyetlerine başlayan firma adını kurucusu beyefendiden almıştır. William Hill 1919'da başladığı bahis oynatma sevdasını 1970 yılına kadar sürdürür ve bir yıl sonra aramızdan ayrılır.

Firmanın sponsor olduğu Yılın Spor Kitabı Ödülü ilk kez 1989 yılında düzenlenmiş. Adı üzerinde sadece futbol kitapları değil neredeyse akla gelen tüm spor dalları üzerine kitapları yılın kitabı olarak şereflendirmiş. Aşağıdaki listeye göz atabilirsiniz:
