Abstract: A cue stick holder is provided with at least one cue stick receiving aperture for maintaining a cue stick in an upright orientation. The cue stick receiving aperture may be either completely enclosed or partially enclosed. The cue stick holder is supported on a cue stick case for selective movement between a normally horizontal orientation wherein the cue stick receiving aperture is adapted to receive a cue stick therein and a storage orientation. Alternatively, the cue stick holder may comprise a cue stick receiving aperture and an adhesive layer or mechanical attachment for securing the cue stick holder at a desired location.
