This highly anticipated event will feature top curlers from across the United States competing for the national title in both men’s and women’s divisions. The tournament will showcase skilled teams of athletes ages 50 and older, offering a rare opportunity for residents of Northern Michigan to witness high-level competition in their own backyard! The Traverse City Curling Club, a vibrant hub for curling and community, will provide the perfect backdrop for the event, with its state-of-the-art facilities and enthusiastic local support.

35 teams (20 Men’s and 15 Women’s) will be competing, representing 19 states, including Washington, Arizona, Texas, Colorado, and New York. The tournament’s format is round-robin play, followed by playoff rounds to determine the national champions over the weekend. Winners will advance to represent the United States at the World Senior Curling Championship in Fredericton, Canada from  April 26 - May 3, 2025.

“Traverse City was a great partner for the 2024 Mixed Doubles Nationals,” said Dean Gemmell, CEO of USA Curling. “We know they will put on a terrific show for the top curlers in the country over the age of 50.”

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Traverse City Curling Club, admission to the event will be free to the public. “We invite everyone in our community to come visit the club and enjoy some elite competition over this weeklong championship,” said Kate Sterken, Executive Director of the Traverse City Curling Club. “This is a special milestone for our club, and our doors will be wide open to share the best of the sport and energy of this championship with everyone in our community!”
