Qualification

Main article: Curling at the 2018 Winter Olympics – Qualification

Qualification to the curling tournaments at the Winter Olympics will be determined through two methods. Nations can qualify teams by earning qualification points from performances at the 2016 and 2017 World Curling Championships. Teams may also qualify through an Olympic qualification event which is due to be held in the autumn of 2017. Seven nations will qualify teams via World Championship qualification points, while two nations will qualify through the qualification event. As host nation, South Korea qualifies teams automatically, thus making a total of ten teams per gender in the curling tournaments. For the mixed doubles competition the top seven ranked teams earning qualification points from performances at the 2016 and 2017 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship will qualify along with hosts South Korea.
