The 2004 World Women's Curling Championship (branded as 2004 Ford World Women's Curling Championship for sponsorship reasons) was held at the Gavlerinken in Gävle, Sweden from April 17–25, 2004.
It was the last event held in conjunction with the men's tournament, the last to be held before the adoption of the page playoff system (before it was later replaced in 2018), and the last event to feature just ten teams.
Jones, who had won the silver medal in 2003 decided to opt for a more offensive strategy in 2004, which helped her success.
[2] Switzerland's Luzia Ebnöther won the bronze medal, defeating the US's Patti Lank rink in the third place game, 10–5.
