The top teams in the country will compete from November 11–16 at the Denny Sanford Premier Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to determine who will represent Team USA at the Olympic Qualification Event 2025 and beyond. This will be the next stop on the American team curlers’ journey to the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026.
Due to insufficient Olympic Qualification Points from the 2024 and 2025 Women’s and Men’s World Championships, the USA currently does not have a quota for either the men’s or women’s event at the Games in February.
Team USA will not be represented in the men’s and women’s competition at Milano Cortina if they don’t meet one of the two quotas.
Since the sport was added to the Olympic program in 1998, teams from the country have participated in every competition; the men’s team won bronze at Turin in 2006 and gold at PyeongChang in 2018.
