Current edition

The Korean Curling Championships (branded as the KB Financial Korean Curling Championships from 2012 to 2022) are the annual Korean men's and women's curling championships, organized by the Korean Curling Federation (KCF). The winners of the championship qualify for the Korean National Team. Until 2022, they earned the right to represent South Korea at the Pacific-Asia Curling Championships (PACC) and the World Curling Championships if they reached qualification. Every four years, the winners also qualify to represent South Korea at the Winter Olympic Games if the country received a berth.[citation needed] The championship also qualifies the winners for the Asian Winter Games if it is held during the season they are the national team.

Starting in 2022, the winners of the championships qualified for the Pan Continental Curling Championships, which replaced the PACC. If the team placed in the top five at the Pan-Continental, then they qualified for the upcoming World Championship.

The national championship is usually held in June or July, making it the first event of the new curling season.

Results

The earliest known results from the Korean Curling Championships are from 2011.
