The 2005 World Junior Curling Championships were held from March 3 to 13 at the Pinerolo Palaghiaccio in Pinerolo, Italy, the site of the curling tournament at the 2006 Olympics.
Canada, skipped by Kyle George and his team from Regina, Saskatchewan defeated Sweden, skipped by Nils Carlsén, 6–5 in the men's final. The game went to an extra end, where George tapped a Canadian stone for shot on his first, which was followed up by Carlsén missing a double-raise takeout attempt, clinching the victory for Canada. George did not have to throw his last stone.
Switzerland, skipped by Tania Grivel from Biel won the women's final, 10–2 over Sweden's Stina Viktorsson's rink. It was the second women's championship for Switzerland.
