The 1985 Scott Tournament of Hearts, the Canadian women's curling championship, was held from February 23 to March 2, 1985 at the Winnipeg Arena in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The total attendance for the tournament was 18,203 people. This would be the first year in which the champion would automatically qualify to next year's tournament as Team Canada.
Team British Columbia, who was skipped by Linda Moore won the event by defeating Newfoundland 13âÂÂ7 in the final in nine ends, marking the first time a final was conceded prior to ten ends being completed. This was BC's fifth title overall and the only title skipped by Moore.
Moore's rink dominated the tournament as they finished unbeaten with an 11âÂÂ0 record, becoming the first team since the Emily Farnham's Saskatchewan rink did so in and the first team to do so in the Hearts era (since ). They were also the last team until to finish round robin play unbeaten and the last team until to not lose a single game in the tournament.
Moore's rink would go onto represent Canada in the 1985 World Women's Curling Championship in Jönköping, Sweden, which they also won.
The final would set records for the most points scored by one team in a final (13), the most combined points scored in a final (20), and the highest score in one end with hammer in a final (five by BC in the first end). The most points and combined points records remain finals records while the highest score with hammer was matched in the 2023 final.
The teams were listed as follows:
