The Australian Women's Curling Championship is the national curling championship of women's curling in Australia. The winners of the tournament represent Australia at the Pan Continental Curling Championships (previously the Pacific-Asia Curling Championships). It is organized by the Australian Curling Federation.

The event is normally held in Naseby, New Zealand, as Australia currently lacks a dedicated curling facility.[1]
