Main article: 2012 United States Women's Curling Championship – Qualification

As with last year, teams can qualify for the women's nationals by qualifying automatically through the World Curling Tour Order of Merit or through a challenge round. Four teams qualified via the Order of Merit, while six teams will qualify via the challenge round.[3] The challenge round will be held in Marshfield, Wisconsin, where the teams that did not qualify directly via the Order of Merit will compete for the final six spots in the nationals.
