World Women’s Curling Championship
The World Women’s Curling Championship is an international annual tournament for the national women’s curling teams, organized under the aegis of the World Curling Federation (WCF).
2026 World Women’s Curling Championship
In 2026, the Women’s World Curling Championship will take place in Calgary, Canada. The event will be held at the WinSport Event Centre arena. It will run from March 14 to 22, 2026. The championship is organized by the World Curling Federation and Curling Canada. Thirteen national teams will participate in the tournament. They are selected through the 2025 European and Pan Continental Curling Championships. Teams will compete in a round-robin stage. Each team plays against all other teams once. The top six teams will advance to the playoffs. Playoffs will determine the semi-finalists and finalists. Winners will play for gold, while others compete for bronze.
Main favorites and participants
Canada, Switzerland, Sweden and the USA traditionally stand out among the contenders, many of which have been leaders at the world Championships in recent years. However, surprises are possible in curling — teams with a less high-profile past can show results and enter the fight for medals.
History of the championship
The first World Women’s Curling tournament was held in 1979. 11 teams took part in the first women’s curling tournament. Switzerland won the championship with a score of 13:5, facing Sweden in the final.
Since 2006, the number of participating teams has risen to 12, from 2018 to 13 and from 2021 to 14.
Each World Championship has featured teams from the USA, Canada, Scotland, Sweden and Switzerland.
Canada has hosted the World Women’s Curling tournament 16 times.
