The 2025 World Women's Curling Championship (46th) (branded as the 2025 LGT World Women's Curling Championship for sponsorship reasons) will be held from March 15 to 23 at the Uijeongbu Indoor Ice Rink in Uijeongbu, South Korea.[1] It will be the first international curling event held in Uijeongbu and the second World Women's Championship held in Korea as Gangneung hosted the 2009 championship.[2] This event is the last women's event to earn Qualification Points for the 2026 Winter Olympics.

The format for the Championship will feature a thirteen team round robin. The top six teams will qualify for the playoff round where the top two teams received a bye while the remaining four played in the qualification round to qualify for the semifinals.[3]
