This paper describes the goals, current status and some preliminary results from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey. In particular we present the most precise measurement to date of the redshift-space distortion parameter, β ≡ Ω0.6/b = 0.39 ± 0.05. Combined with recent CMB anisotropy measurements, our results strongly favour a low-density universe.
