Team Saskatchewan, who was skipped by Emily Farnham won the event by finishing round robin play undefeated with a 9–0 record. This was Saskatchewan's sixth consecutive championship and seventh overall. This was the only national championship appearance for Farnham. The event capped a stellar season for the team, which won 120 out of 122 games, with one of their two losses coming against a men's team.[3]

Saskatchewan's six consecutive championships set a record for the most consecutive championships by one province in either the men's and women's national championships surpassing Manitoba's five consecutive Brier championships from 1928 to 1932.
