The championship was held in conjunction with the 2019 Italian Women's Curling Championship.
First was the group stage (Round robin), where the teams played among themselves in a four-round round robin system. If two teams had the same number of wins, they were ranked among themselves according to the result of two their matches; if the number of victories for three or more teams is equal, teams were ranked according to the results of the sum of Draw Shot Challenge (DSC, in centimetres; the smaller value, the higher the rank). The four best teams go to the second stage, the playoff, using the Page playoff system (two best teams, following the results of the group round, hold a match for a direct bye to the final (playoffs-1). The 3rd and 4th teams played, with the winners going to the semifinals (playoffs-2). The semifinal was between the loser in the first match and a winner in the second. In the finals, gold was to the winner of the 1 vs. 2 playoff game and the winner of the semifinal. Losers in the semifinals and the playoffs-2 game played for bronze medal.
