The goal of the USCA is to grow the sport of curling in the United States and win medals in competitions both domestic and abroad.

In June 2020, the USCA distributed a document to all member clubs with a set of recommendations on how to safely re-open and begin curling again.

[16] This enforcement entails the removal of the largest and oldest regional association in North America, the Grand National Curling Club.

[17][18] On October 3, 2022, the USA Curling Board issued a press release reaffirming their investigation into Plush's background prior to hiring him, and announced they held a special board session, but concluded with a weak, generic statement about the course of reopened review and potential subsequent action.

[19] Olympic gold-medalist Tyler George also joined in condemning USA Curling’s recent actions by taking aim at the board’s decision to attempt to remove the GNCC.

[20] As a member of the World Curling Federation (WCF), the USCA sends teams to represent the United States at a number of international competitions.

[24] Similarly the United States has also had a team at the Women's World Championship every year since its inception in 1979, earning 6 medals in the 41 appearances.

[24] The United States has been represented in both men's and women's curling at every Winter Olympics since it was reinstated as a full event in 1998.

In the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics the men's team earned bronze under the guidance of skip Pete Fenson.

[25] Most recently, at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, skip John Shuster's team won the gold medal.

[34] The United States Curling Association typically holds thirteen national championship events each season.
