The GSOC Tahoe Final, marking the season’s last Grand Slam of Curling event, features teams from Canada, Switzerland, and Scotland competing on Sunday. This final concludes a thrilling week in one of curling’s most prestigious tournaments.
This year introduces a significant change: the absence of the National tournament for the 2025-26 season. Instead, the event is rebranded as the GSOC Tahoe Final. The National event began in 2002 for men and added a women’s competition in 2015.
Last year, Scotland’s Bruce Mouat won the men’s National event, while Rachel Homan from Ontario, Canada, claimed victory in the women's tournament held in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador.
For the first time, a major GSOC event is hosted outside Canada. The Grand Slam of Curling final takes place in Stateline, Nevada, located on the southeastern shore of Lake Tahoe.
“This game is starting to grow, as this is the first major GSOC event held outside of Canada.”
The men’s final headlines a clash between Canada’s Matt Dunstone and Scotland’s Bruce Mouat, while the women’s final features Canada’s Rachel Homan against Switzerland’s Silvana Tirinzoni.
The GSOC Tahoe Final represents a historic expansion for curling, bringing top Canadian, Swiss, and Scottish teams together for a thrilling conclusion outside Canada for the first time.
