United States Arena Curling Championships

The United States Arena Curling Championships are annual national curling championships for men and women that are members of arena curling clubs. Arena curling clubs do not have their own facilities and instead rent ice time at traditional ice arenas. The tournament is run by the United States Curling Association.
