Unlike the Dominion Tankard, the women's championship included teams from both southern and northern Ontario until 2015. The winner of the provincial championship goes on to play in thenational championship . Because the national champion returns the previous years champion to the event, if that team is from Ontario, they cannot defend their provincial championship. The national championship has been running since 1962, but the provincial championship has existed since 1956.
The U-21 provincial curling championships are held annually in early January. The tournament is for curlers 20 years old and younger. A men's tournament has been held since 1950 and the women's since 1972. The winning team represents Ontario at theCanadian Junior Curling Championships .

Charles Collins and his team from the Dundas Curling Club, were winners of this event in 1903In this event, each club that enters has two teams, who compete against other clubs, and scores are totalled in aggregate form. Regional and zone playdowns are single-knock out rather than double. It is the oldest of the O.C.A. events, dating back to 1875. The women's event has been held since 1914.
The event served as a provincial championship from 1927 to 1931 with a team selected from with winning club representing Ontario atthe Brier . In 1932 and 1933, the winner entered a playoff to go to the Brier, and from 1934 to 1937, the winner of the Brier trophy event of the Tankard went to the Brier.
In 2022, the event format changed, with the men's and women's events being merged into one. The event is still a double rink event, except one team must be a men's team, and the other a women's team.
