The 2025 United States Olympic Curling Team Trials for Men's and Women's curling took place from November 11 to 16, 2025 in the Denny Sanford Premier Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The men's and women's team trials each feature four teams who played in a double round robin tournament, with the top two teams then playing a best-of-three final. The winner of both the men's (Team Daniel Casper) and women's (Team Tabitha Peterson) events represented the United States at the 2025 Olympic Qualification Event, where both qualified for the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Qualification The Men's and Women's trials each consisted of four teams. The winners of the 2024 and 2025 Men's and Women's National Championships each qualified, on the condition that they placed 6th or higher at the World Championships. The top United States teams on the World Curling Federation's Team Rankings that have not already qualified will then fill the trials until there are three teams each. However, because the 2025 men's team and 2024 and 2025 women's teams did not place in the top 6 at the World Championships, the top two ranked men's teams and top 3 ranked women's teams, based on the World Curling Team Rankings, qualified directly for trials. The final slot at trials was filled with the winner of the 2025 United States Olympic Curling Team Pre-Trials.
