The 2022 World Women's Curling Championship (branded as the 2022 BKT Tires & OK Tire World Women's Curling Championship for sponsorship reasons) was held from March 19 to 27 at the CN Centre in Prince George, British Columbia, Canada.[1] Prince George was originally chosen to host the 2020 World Women's Curling Championship, but the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
The format for the Championship returned to a 13 team round robin opposed to the 14 teams qualified for the 2021 World Women's Curling Championship. The top six teams qualified for the playoff round, where the top two teams received a bye while the remaining four played the first round. The no-tick rule was used for the first time at a World Championship tournament.[3][4]
Scotland and Japan were forced to withdraw from the tournament due to COVID-19 issues within their teams. The Russian Curling Federation was disqualified from the tournament as a sanction for the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine; the Czech Republic accepted an invitation to replace them. The championship was won by the Switzerland team skipped by Silvana Tirinzoni.
