World Curling

It was formed out of the International Curling Federation (ICF), when the push for Olympic Winter Sport status was made.

At the outset, it comprised the associations of Scotland, Canada, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, and the United States.

All positions on the Board of Directors are elected by World Curling member associations.

There are 74 member associations, with the most recent addition being Pakistan, Puerto Rico and the Philippines in 2023, and Monaco in 2024.
