The women's singles competition took place in Belfast from April 18–20. The title was won by Carol Ashby.

Notes edit

A new scoring format was introduced; a game would now consist of two sets of nine ends. If the two sets resulted in draw (one set each) then a deciding set of just three ends would be played to determine the winner.
