Abstract The near-threshold $e^+e^- \to \varLambda\bar{\varLambda}$ reaction is studied with the assumption that the production mechanism is due to a near-$\varLambda \bar{\varLambda}$-threshold bound state. The cross section of the $e^+e^- \to \varLambda\bar{\varLambda}$ reaction is parameterized in terms of the electromagnetic form factors of $\varLambda$ hyperon, which are obtained with the vector meson dominance model. It is shown that the contribution to the $e^+e^- \to \varLambda\bar{\varLambda}$ reaction from a new narrow state with quantum numbers $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ is dominant for energies very close to threshold. The mass of this new state is around 2231 MeV, which is very close to the mass threshold of $\varLambda \bar{\varLambda}$, while its width is just a few MeV. This gives a possible solution to the problem that all previous calculations seriously underestimated the near-threshold total cross section of the $e^+e^- \to \varLambda\bar{\varLambda}$ reaction. We also note that the near-threshold enhancement can also be reproduced by including these well established vector resonances $\omega(1420)$, $\omega(1650)$, $\phi(1680)$, or $\phi(2170)$ with a Flatté form for their total decay width, and a strong coupling to the $\varLambda\bar{\varLambda}$ channel.
