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.
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.
