Additionally, both the Canadian men's and women's teams won the gold medal, becoming the first country to do so in the history of the event.

Qualification to the curling tournaments at the Winter Olympics was determined through two methods.

Nations could qualify teams by earning qualification points from performances at the 2012 and 2013 World Curling Championships.

Teams could also qualify through an Olympic qualification event which was held in the autumn of 2013.

The top four teams at the conclusion of the round robin advanced to the playoffs.
