The 2025 Atlantic University Sport Curling Championships presented by Bell were held from January 2 to 5 at the Mayflower Curling Club in Halifax, Nova Scotia.[1][2] The top two men's and women's teams qualified for the 2025 U Sports/Curling Canada University Curling Championships in Lethbridge, Alberta. The event was hosted by Saint Mary's University.[3]

In the men's final, the Memorial Sea-Hawks won their second AUS title, stealing a 6–5 victory from the UNB Reds. It was a second title for Memorial University of Newfoundland who last won the title eight years prior in 2017. The win also snapped a six-year title streak from the Dalhousie Tigers who missed the playoffs in a shocking result.

In the women's final, the Dalhousie Tigers reclaimed the championship title by downing the St. Francis Xavier X-Women 7–2 in the final. The Tigers previously won four straight AUS titles before losing the final in 2024. The reigning champions, the UNB Reds, lost in the semifinal to Dalhousie.
