“Both in Des Moines area and throughout Iowa, we have seen tremendous enthusiasm for our sport,” said Dean Gemmell, CEO of USA Curling.
Gemmell also noted the work local curlers are doing to get a full-time curling facility, calling it a “terrific legacy” for the 2027 championships.
President and CEO of Catch Des Moines Trina Flack called the event an incredible opportunity for the area, especially after curling surged in popularity after the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Competitors at the championships will include Olympians as well as newer faces to the sport.
“Fans who have watched the sport on television won’t want to miss an opportunity to see it in person,” Gemmell said.
Tickets and schedules for the championship have not been released yet.
