The Atlantic University Sport Curling Championships are an annual curling tournament held between club curling teams from member schools. Depending on the year, the top two or three men's and women's team qualify for the U Sports curling championships.[1]

The inaugural event was held in 2015 and was hosted in Montague, Prince Edward Island by the University of Prince Edward Island. Since then, the championship has been held annually, excluding the 2020–21 season when it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]

The Dalhousie Tigers have dominated the event on both the men's and women's sides. The men's team have won seven of the nine titles while the women's team have picked up five. The only other men's teams to have won the AUS championship are the UNB Reds and the Memorial Sea-Hawks while on the women's side, the Saint Mary's Huskies, St. Francis Xavier X-Women, Mount Allison Mounties and UNB Reds have each won one title.[3]
