The Russian Curling Championships are annual national curling tournaments held in Russia between various Russian curling clubs. The championships are played over a season from winter to spring. In the 1998-99 season, the tournament has been played in two divisions – first and high division – and in 2015, the championships were split into two major leagues A and B.
The national championships were introduced during the 1992–93 season, after the Russian Curling Federation was formed a year ago. The first edition was held in St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg clubs have been dominating the men's tournament, while Moscow clubs in the women's tournament.
