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).
The 2027 World Women’s Curling Championship is included in the international competition calendar. However, the exact dates and location have not yet been announced. It is known that the tournament will be held in Canada in partnership with BKT Tires.
Starting in the 2026/27 season, the competition format will expand to 18 teams. Participants will be divided into two groups of nine teams. The tournament is expected to take place in early 2027 and will bring together the world’s strongest teams, with the updated format expected to make the competition more competitive.
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.
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.
