Career
=World Junior Championships=
Muirhead was born in Perth, Scotland, and first appeared on the world curling scene at the 2007 World Junior Curling Championships in Eveleth, Minnesota, as a third with skip Sarah Reid, and won the gold medal.
At the 2008 Scottish junior women's championship Muirhead skipped her own team, winning all games and thus qualifying for the next junior world championship.{{cite web |url=http://www.curlingtoday.co.uk/index.php?categories=Scottish%20Junior%20Women's%20Championship|title=Junior women's final|work=Curling Today|date=10 February 2008|access-date=21 March 2008}}{{Dead link|date=August 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} Muirhead was skip for the Scottish team at the 2008 World Junior Curling Championships in Östersund, beating Sweden (skipped by Cecilia Östlund) 12–3 in the final.{{cite web |url=http://curlingtoday.blogspot.com/2008/03/world-champions-welcomed-home.html|title=World Champions welcomed home!|work=Curling Today|access-date=21 March 2008|date=10 March 2010|first=Bob|last=Cowan}}
Muirhead returned to the 2009 World Junior Curling Championships in Vancouver to play at the Vancouver Olympic Centre, the future site of the 2010 Winter Olympics. She faced the hometown Canadian team led by Kaitlyn Lawes in the final and defeated them 8–6. Thus Muirhead repeated as the world junior champion skip and won her third world junior championship in a row.
In December 2009, Muirhead was awarded the BBC Scotland Young Sports Personality of the year for her achievements in curling.{{cite news |title=Eve Muirhead eyes curling gold at Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver |newspaper=The Daily Telegraph |date=2 February 2010 |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/winter-olympics/7130049/Eve-Muirhead-eyes-curling-gold-at-Winter-Olympic-Games-in-Vancouver.html |location=London |first=Jim |last=White|access-date=7 February 2014}}
In 2010, Muirhead was too preoccupied with the Olympics to play at the World Juniors, but she was back at the 2011 World Junior Curling Championships in her native Scotland. Muirhead won the gold medal at the World Juniors for an unprecedented fourth time in her career. She beat Canada's Trish Paulsen by a score of 10–3 in the final.{{cite web |url=http://www.wjcc2011.com/news/worldjuniorchampionships2011womenscotlandgoldcanadasilverrussiabronze|title=World Junior Championships 2011: WOMEN Scotland Gold, Canada Silver, Russia Bronze.|date=13 March 2011|publisher=World Junior Curling Championships|access-date=14 March 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110319025347/http://www.wjcc2011.com/news/worldjuniorchampionships2011womenscotlandgoldcanadasilverrussiabronze|archive-date=19 March 2011|url-status=dead}}
=Winter Olympics=
Muirhead was selected as skip for the Great Britain Women's curling team at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada. After winning only three of nine round robin matches with cliffhanger losses to the United States, Denmark and Canada, the team failed to qualify for the semi-finals. She also broke her broom on the ice, a major curling faux pas.{{cite news|url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/columnists/giles_smith/article7039626.ece|title=Eve Muirhead's broom abuse should be swept under the carpet|work=The Times|access-date=2 March 2010|first=Giles|last=Smith|date=25 February 2009 |location=London}}{{dead link|date=September 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}
Muirhead continued as skip for the Great Britain Women's curling team at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

Muirhead was skip for the British team at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea.{{cite web |url=http://www.worldcurling.org/owg2018/team-gb-profile|title=Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018 – Meet the Team GB curlers for PyeongChang 2018|publisher=World Curling Federation|access-date=11 November 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171205060614/http://www.worldcurling.org/owg2018/team-gb-profile|archive-date=5 December 2017|url-status=dead}} She led her team to a 6–3 robin record, which qualified Great Britain for a semifinal match-up against Sweden's Anna Hasselborg rink. She lost to the Swedes in the semifinal, putting Team GB in the bronze medal game against Japan's Satsuki Fujisawa team. She lost this game as well, settling for fourth place.
Muirhead was once again selected as skip for the Women's curling team at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China.{{cite web|title=Team GB selects women's curling team for Beijing 2022|url=https://www.teamgb.com/article/team-gb-selects-womens-curling-team-for-beijing-2022/4mrj9WCOVhhsfIFXlSR56Q|access-date=20 February 2022|publisher=Team GB}} On the last day of events she led her team to a 10–3 win over Japan, winning her first ever gold Olympic medal (Team GB's only gold medal of the Games).
=World Championships=
Muirhead won the silver medal as the Scottish team skip at the 2010 Ford World Women's Curling Championship after losing 8–6 to Germany in the final, which went to an extra end. The team finished the round robin matches in 3rd place with an 8–3 record, then advanced to the final by winning the 3 vs. 4-page playoff against Sweden and the semi-final against Canada, both games in 8 ends and on the same day. Her teammates were third Kelly Wood, second Lorna Vevers, lead Anne Laird and alternate Sarah Reid.{{cite web |url=http://www.seasonofchampions.ca/2010worlds/index.asp|title=2010 Ford World Women's Curling Championship|date=29 March 2010|publisher=Canadian Curling Association|access-date=29 March 2010}} Muirhead's rink did not win the Scottish championship in 2011, but she was invited to play as Scotland's alternate at the 2011 Capital One World Women's Curling Championship, where the team finished 9th. The team did win the Scottish championship in 2012 and would finish 6th at the 2012 Ford World Women's Curling Championship. She won the Scottish championship for a fourth time in 2013. The team would go on to play at the 2013 World Women's Curling Championship, where they defeated Sweden's Margaretha Sigfridsson in the final. The win made Muirhead the youngest skip ever to win the World Women's Curling Championship.
Muirhead next made it to the Worlds in 2015 and finished in 4th place. At the 2016 World Women's Curling Championship, the team missed the playoffs and finished in 5th place, while at the 2017 World Women's Curling Championship, Muirhead would take home the bronze medal.
Muirhead would not play at the World Championships again until 2021, after missing 2018 due to losing a playoff against that year's Scottish champion Hannah Fleming, losing the 2019 Scottish final to Sophie Jackson, and because the 2020 World Women's Curling Championship was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At the 2021 World Women's Curling Championship, which was played in a bio-secure "bubble" due to the ongoing pandemic, Muirhead led Scotland to a 6–7 record for an 8th place finish.{{cite news|url=https://www.sportingnews.com/ca/other-sports/news/world-womens-curling-championship-2021-results-standings-schedule-tv-channel/u71y40j4c3avz93qns1vkuc3|title=World Women's Curling Championship 2021: Results, standings, schedule and TV channel|publisher=Sporting News|first=Jackie |last=Spiegel|date=9 May 2021|access-date=9 May 2021}}
