World Women's Curling Champions: Past Winners, Full List of Gold, Silver Winners 1979–2026
Switzerland’s Xenia Schwaller capped a dominant week by defeating Canada’s Kerri Einarson 7–5 to win gold at the World Women’s Curling Championship in Calgary.
After dropping their opening game to Japan’s Satsuki Fujisawa, Schwaller and her team—Selina Gafner, Fabienne Rieder, and Selina Rychiger—responded in remarkable fashion, winning 11 consecutive matches to top the standings. They then beat Sweden’s Isabella Wranå in the semifinals to reach the final.
Bronze medals were not officially awarded until 1985. From 1989–1994, both semi-final losers received bronze; afterward, it returned to a single official third-place team (via a bronze-medal game or playoff).
As of the 2025 event (held March 15–23 in Uijeongbu, Republic of Korea), Canada leads the all-time medal table with 19 gold medals (titles), followed by Switzerland (10) and Sweden (8).
Here is the complete list of winners, runners-up, medallists from 1979 to 2026, based on official records (with city/host country where available). Note: In combined years (1995–2004), the event is often listed as "World Curling Championships," but women's results are distinct.
