2014 Continental Cup of Curling
10th edition of team-based curling competition between European and American professionals
The 2014 Continental Cup of Curling was held from January 16 to 19 at the Orleans Arena in Paradise, Nevada, a suburb of Las Vegas. This edition of the Continental Cup of Curling, sponsored by World Financial Group, was the first held outside of Canada. The Continental Cup, based on the Ryder Cup of golf, pits teams from North America against teams from the rest of the world. The tournament featured team events, mixed doubles events, singles competitions, and skins competitions, and the brunt of available points was awarded in the skins competitions. TSN broadcast the event, as it has in previous years.
Team North America was represented by Canada Cup champion Jeff Stoughton, Tournament of Hearts champion Rachel Homan, Canadian Olympic Trials champions Jennifer Jones and Brad Jacobs, and the United States' Olympic Trials champions Erika Brown and John Shuster. Team World was represented by reigning women's world champion Eve Muirhead, two-time world silver medalist Margaretha Sigfridsson, Japanese women's national champion Satsuki Fujisawa, reigning men's world champion Niklas Edin, two-time world champion David Murdoch, and two-time European champion Thomas Ulsrud.
Team North America became the first team to win back-to-back titles. Team World and Team North America were square at the beginning of the event. Team North America built a three-point lead with wins in the team games, but Team World turned the tables on Team North America in the singles competition, taking the lead with a dominant performance.

Why this record matters
The phrase “10th edition of team-based curling competition between European and American professionals” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q15632917. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2014.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
