The Euro Super Series is a curling tournament held annually in August at the National Curling Academy in Stirling, Scotland. The event, which is put on by British Curling was first held in 2021 in a bid to "launch a new era of high class competition (in Europe)". [1] Since 2022, the men's and women's events are held a week apart. The purse for both the men's and women's events is £20,000, with the winners receiving £6,000.
