Annual curling tournament held in Canada
The Canadian Open , known as the Co-Op Canadian Open for sponsorship reasons, is an annual bonspiel , or curling tournament. It is one of the five Grand Slams and four "majors" on the men's and women's curling tours. A women's event was introduced in the 2014–15 curling season .
In 2021, when it was supposed to be held outside of Canada for the first time, it was going to just be called the Open . However, the event was not held in 2021 and 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic . In 2023, the event was named the Co-op Canadian open for sponsorship reasons.
The event features 16 men's and women's teams. The top 16 teams on the World Curling team ranking system qualify.[ 1]
Since 2024, the event features four groups of four teams each. Each team plays everyone in their pool once, plus a crossover game against a team in another pool.[ 1]
