Mixed curling

Mixed curling, also known as coed curling, is the sport of curling when played by men and women together. Some community and school level curling is mixed, while most top-level curling championships are divided into men's and women's divisions. A normal mixed team consists of 2 men and 2 women with the throwers alternating in gender. In 2008, the World Curling Federation introduced a World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship.

The World Mixed Curling Championship is the world's top-level mixed curling event. The World Curling Championships, and the top Canadian tournaments known as the Scotties Tournament of Hearts and the Tim Hortons Brier are single-sex events or are divided into single-sex divisions.
