New Zealand won the men's event over Japan (it was the first Pacific title for the New Zealand men). On the women's side, Japan defeated New Zealand in the final (it was the seventh Pacific title for the Japanese women).
By virtue of winning, the New Zealand men's team and the Japanese women's team qualified for the 1999 World Men's and Women's Curling Championships in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada.
The event was originally to be played at a new curling facility in Dunedin, New Zealand, but construction delays forced the event to be held in Canada. The New Zealand Curling Association ran the event. [1]
