The United States Junior Curling Championship is the annual competition for junior (under the age of 21 years) US men's and women's curling teams.
It has been held since 1974 (junior men) and 1987 (junior women). The organizer is the United States Curling Association ( Eng. United States Curling Association, USA Curling, USCA ) [1] .
Since 1990, men's and women's tournaments have been held simultaneously in the same city.
The winners of the men's and women's championships are entitled until the next championship to represent the United States in the international arena (in particular, at the World Curling Championships among juniors ) as US junior teams.
