It was the 7th Continental Cup, the first since December 2008. No event was held in 2009 due to the 2009 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials.
The event once again featured North America vs. the World. The North American team featured the Olympic silver medal-winning Cheryl Bernard rink, the Olympic gold medal-winning Kevin Martin rink, the current World champion rink of Kevin Koe, current Canadian champion Jennifer Jones, and Erika Brown and Pete Fenson, the current American champion rinks. The World team was represented by 2009 European champion Niklas Edin, 2010 European bronze medalist Mirjam Ott, World champion Andrea Schöpp, European champion Thomas Ulsrud, Olympic bronze medalist Wang Bingyu and a composite rink featuring former world champion David Murdoch, Olympic bronze medalist Ralph Stöckli and teammate Simon Strübin as well as 2007 World silver medalist Andreas Lang.[1]
The North American team dominated the event, winning it outright before the final day, the second time in the history of the event.[2] The North American team also set a record for the most points won in the history of the cup, breaking the previous record of 290 points set by the North American team in 2007.[3]
