USA Curling’s top event will head to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in 2021, marking the first time the Men’s and Women’s National Championships will take place in the Hawkeye State. Cedar Rapids hosted the 2015 Arena National Championships with great success.

The event will take place Feb. 6-12, 2021, at ImOn Ice, formerly known as the Cedar Rapids Ice Arena.

The weeklong national event features the top men’s and women’s teams in the country and helps determine Team USA for the subsequent World Championships. The 2021 World Women’s Championship will take place in Switzerland, while the 2020 World Men’s Championship location is yet to be announced. The 2020 Nationals took place in mid-February at the Eastern Washington University Recreation Center in Spokane, Wash. 

Cedar Rapids has a long history of hosting championship events. The city has hosted numerous NCAA Championships and Junior College Championships, as well as championships for USA Gymnastics, USA Volleyball, USA Ultimate and USA Curling.
