The 2013 World Financial Group Continental Cup of Curling was held from January 10 to 13 at the South Okanagan Events Centre in Penticton, British Columbia.

Mixed doubles games involve two teams, each consisting of one male and one female, playing against each other.

Mirjam Ott and Allison Pottinger played a high-scoring game which resulted in a win for Ott, and Eve Muirhead scored an early lead over Heather Nedohin and held it to win another point for Team World.

[10] The North American pair of John Morris and Kaitlyn Lawes dominated Team World's Niklas Edin and Christina Bertrup.

Heather Nedohin made a game-saving shot with Dean Gemmell to tie their game with Michael Goodfellow and Eve Muirhead,[11] and Christoffer Svae and Carmen Schäfer stole a win over Marc Kennedy and Allison Pottinger after Pottinger was light on a draw.

Both Niklas Edin of Team World and Kevin Martin of Team North America won close games against Heath McCormick and Tom Brewster, respectively, while Glenn Howard made a double-takeout in the last end to hold his lead and win the game over Thomas Ulsrud.

Team North America fared well in the singles competition, winning four of the six matchups and earning four points.

Heath McCormick dominated against Thomas Ulsrud, who lost second Christoffer Svae in the middle of the game due to illness.

Glenn Howard had a chance to make the draw a North America sweep, starting off with a small lead against Tom Brewster, but a mistake in the eighth end from Brent Laing led to a chance for Brewster to come back and tie the game, which he did.

Heath McCormick and Jessica Mair dominated Sebastian Kraupp and Maria Prytz, stealing three ends en route to a six-point victory.

Brent Laing and Jennifer Jones played a back-and-forth game with Torger Nergård and Carmen Küng, but retained control through most of the game and came out with the victory after Küng's last shot left Team North America having shot stone, effectively giving Laing and Jones the win.

Jennifer Jones played a back-and-forth game with Eve Muirhead, and won on a dramatic finish, tapping a buried stone to score a deuce in the final end.
