This edition of the World Women's Championship saw the first team from South Korea advancing to the playoffs in history. Previously, their best performance was in 2009, where they finished the round robin in tenth place with a 3–8 win–loss record.

In the final, Switzerland's Mirjam Ott defeated Sweden's Margaretha Sigfridsson after scoring a deuce in the tenth end, wrapping up the game with a score of 7–6. Switzerland won its third gold medal, its first since 1983, when Erika Müller won the world championship.[3] Ott won her first gold medal,[4] while Sigfridsson won her third silver medal.

Scottish skip Eve Muirhead was awarded the Frances Brodie Award, an honour given to a curler at the championships who best exemplified sportsmanship, fair play, honesty, and friendship. Muirhead was nominated by fellow curlers at the championships.[5]
