Pan Continental Curling Championships

| Established | 2022 |
| Abolished | 2025 |
The Pan Continental Curling Championships were an annual curling tournament, held every year in late October or early November. The event was used to qualify teams from the America and Pacific-Asia zones for the World Curling Championships, with the top five teams from the A division earning qualification.[1] The championship was created to combine the Pacific-Asia Curling Championships and the Americas Challenge into one event, and create a stronger continental competition to mirror the established European Curling Championships.[2]
The last edition of the Pan Continental Curling Championships was in 2025, with World Curling announcing that it will be replaced through the implementation of the new World Curling Championship B and C Divisions, which now serve as the qualification for men's and women's teams to the World Championships starting in the 2026–27 curling season.[3]
