The Curlers Corner Autumn Gold Curling Classic (formerly the Trail Appliances Curling Classic) is an annual women's World Curling Tour event held annually on the Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend at the Calgary Curling Club in Calgary, Alberta. It was the first Grand Slam event of the season from 2006 to 2014, but is no longer considered one of the official Grand Slams. The first Autumn Gold Classic was held in 1978, and at the time only had a total purse of $5,000. Since 2013, the total prize money given out has been $50,000. The winning team received $14,000.
The 2010 Classic saw the first non-Canadian team to win a Grand Slam of Curling event, the Wang Bingyu rink from China.
