The 23-year-old came through qualifying with a 10-6 win over Michael Judge to book his place in the first-round draw which will take place on Thursday.
Cahill will prove no pushover at the Crucible having claimed a famous win over then world number one Mark Selby in the first round of the UK Championships in November.
Cahill told worldsnooker.com: "Playing at the Crucible is what I've dreamed of since I was a kid so to come through that match is a massive stepping-stone.
"I've relished playing against the big names and on the big occasions in the past so hopefully that'll stand me in good stead."
