The World Senior Curling Championships is an annual curling tournament featuring curlers from around the world who are at least 50 years old. Matches at the World Senior Championships are played in 8 ends played instead of the 10 played in most international events.
The tournament began in 2002 with only 7 men's teams and 4 women's teams but has since expanded.
The 2020 & 2021 event were cancelled on March 14, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.{{Cite web|url=https://worldcurling.org/2020/03/wmdcc-wscc-cancelled/|title=World Mixed Doubles and World Senior Curling Championships 2020 cancelled in Kelowna, Canada|website=World Curling Federation|date=March 14, 2020|access-date=March 15, 2020}}{{Cite news|last1=Potenteau|first1=Doyle|title=Coronavirus: World mixed doubles, seniors curling championships in Kelowna cancelled|url=https://globalnews.ca/news/6678027/coronavirus-world-championships-curling-kelowna/|publisher=Global News|date=March 14, 2020|access-date=March 15, 2020}}
