The United States Women's Curling Championship is the annual women's national curling championship for the United States. It acts as a qualifier for the World Women's Curling Championships. Ten teams play in each championship, with the two top-ranked teams in the nation (according to the Order of Merit) qualifying automatically. The remaining teams qualify to play by going through a challenge round to determine which teams advance to the nationals.[1]
On years preceding the Winter Olympics, the national championship also serves as an Olympic curling trial to determine the team that will represent the United States at the Winter Olympics.
