The "World Women's Curling Championship"(singular because only one women's team is crowned champion) is named after the sponsor of the event(if there is one). The World Women's Curling Championship began in 1979 as the "Royal Bank of Scotland World Curling Championships, "a name kept until 1981. The event was then successively named the "World Curling Championships" in 1982, the "Pioneer Life World Curling Championships" in 1983, again the "World Curling Championships" in 1984, the "H&M World Curling Championships" in 1985, back to "World Curling Championships" from 1986 to 1990, the "Canada Safeway World Curling Championships" in 1991 and 1992, again the "World Curling Championships" in 1993 and 1994, and the "Ford World Curling Championships" since 1995. 1, record 1, English, - World%20Women%27s%20Curling%20Championships

The expression "World Curling Championship" is singular when only one champion is crowned. But when the first "World Women’s Curling Championship" was held in 1979, the plural form "World Curling Championships" was used because the event was already crowning the winner in the men’s, senior men’s, women’s and senior women’s categories; this generic designation was and will be used every time no official sponsor gives its name to the event. Nevertheless, "World Women’s Curling Championship" is still appropriate to distinguish the women’s event inside the "World Curling Championships.". 1, record 1, English, - World%20Women%27s%20Curling%20Championships

Le «Championnat du monde de curling féminin» (au singulier parce qu'une seule équipe est couronnée championne) est nommé d'après le commanditaire principal, ou l'absence de commanditaire, de l'événement. Le premier se tient en 1979 sous le nom de «Championnats du monde de curling Royal Bank of Scotland», nom qu'il conserve jusqu'en 1981. L'événement prend ensuite successivement le nom de «Championnats du monde de curling» en 1982, «Championnats du monde de curling Pioneer Life» en 1983, à nouveau «Championnats du monde de curling» en 1984, «Championnats du monde de curling H&M» en 1985, encore «Championnats du monde de curling» de 1986 à 1990, «Championnats du monde de curling Canada Safeway» en 1991 et 1992, à nouveau «Championnats du monde de curling» en 1993 et 1994, et «Championnats du monde de curling Ford» depuis 1995. 1, record 1, French, - Championnats%20du%20monde%20de%20curling%20f%C3%A9minin

L'expression «Championnat du monde de curling» s'écrit au singulier lorsqu'un seul champion est couronné à l'issue d'une compétition. Mais dès que s'est tenu le premier «Championnat du monde de curling féminin» en 1979, on écrivait déjà «Championnats du monde de curling» parce qu'en une même compétition on tenait les épreuves de curling masculin et féminin et de curling sénior masculin et féminin; ce générique a été utilisé et le sera encore lorsqu'aucun commanditaire majeur ne donne son nom à l'événement. Néanmoins, «Championnat du monde de curling féminin» sert encore à identifier l'épreuve féminine à l'intérieur des «Championnats du monde de curling». 1, record 1, French, - Championnats%20du%20monde%20de%20curling%20f%C3%A9minin
