The 2025 Trentino Curling World Cup will be held from August 28 to 31 at Palacurling Cembra in Cembra, Trentino, Italy.[1] The event will be held in a round-robin format with a 27,000 purse.[2]

The event was organized by Team Joël Retornaz in collaboration with the Curling Cembra Association and the Trentino Curling Cembra ASD to bring a high-level international curling event to Italy ahead of the 2026 Winter Olympics.[1] It followed the same format as the 2024 Cortina Curling Cup women's event held the year prior with ten teams from six nations making up the field. Among them were world number two ranked Team Yannick Schwaller of Switzerland, reigning European champions Team Marc Muskatewitz of Germany and newly crowned Baden Masters champions Team Marco Hösli, also of Switzerland.
