The 2002 Nokia Cup, southern Ontario men's provincial curling championship was held January 28-February 3 at the Quinte Sports Centre in Belleville, Ontario. The winning John Morris from Stayner would represent Ontario at the 2002 Nokia Brier in Calgary, Alberta.
Top teams in the province such as Wayne Middaugh, Glenn Howard and Rich Moffatt did not attempt to qualify for the event, after having signed a deal with the Grand Slam of Curling promising not to enter non-World Curling Tour events.
