The 2025 World Women’s Curling Championship is set to take place in Uijeongbu, South Korea, from Saturday, March 15, to Sunday, March 23. This premier event will feature the world’s top curling teams competing for the prestigious world title.

anada begins their quest to defend their world title with an opening match against Lithuania, who are making their debut at the World Women’s Curling Championship.

Lithuania, ranked 123rd in the world, will be led by 53-year-old skip Virginija Paulauskaitė, the oldest skip in this year’s competition. Paulauskaitė brings a wealth of experience, having recently claimed the silver medal at the 2024 World Senior Curling Championships, where her team fell 7-3 to Canada’s Team Susan Froud in the final.

Despite her success at the senior level, Paulauskaitė and her team face a steep challenge in their first-ever appearance at the women’s worlds. The Lithuanian squad, which posted a 1-8 record at the European Curling Championships earlier this season, will look to make their mark on the international stage.
