The 2025 Alberta Women's Curling Championship presented by Sentinel Storage, the provincial women's curling championship for Alberta, will be held from January 22 to 26 at the Peter Lougheed Community Centre in Rimbey, Alberta.[1] The winning rink will represent Alberta at the 2025 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Thunder Bay, Ontario.[2]

The format of the tournament was changed from an 8-team round robin and a 3-team playoff to a 12-team triple knockout and a 4-team page playoff. This now matches the format of their provincial men's championship counterpart, the Boston Pizza Cup.[3]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Team Selena Sturmay initially received a pre-qualifying berth to provincials via Alberta Curling Tour (ACT) points. However, on January 3, Curling Canada announced that Team Sturmay would replace Team Chelsea Carey of Manitoba as one of the pre-qualified teams for the 2025 Scotties after Team Carey forfeited their 2025 Scotties pre-qualification berth due to no longer meeting minimum player requirements.[6] Since Team Sturmay no longer needed to qualify via provincials, Curling Alberta added another qualification berth to the Last Chance Qualifier to replace Sturmay's spot.[7]
  2. ^ The Grande Prairie qualifier was not held due to only three teams registering, two of which were already pre-qualified based on either CTRS or ACT points and thus did not have to compete in provincial qualifiers. The remaining team, Team Janais DeJong received the berth.
