The Pacific International Cup (PIC) is an international bonspiel held annually in April at the Richmond Curling Club in Richmond, British Columbia. The objective of the PIC is to promote and develop curling at a grass-roots level both in British Columbia and internationally by providing club teams an opportunity to play in a premier international tournament.[1] Over the years teams from 23 different countries and US states have participated in the bonspiel,[2] including from China, Chinese Taipei, South Korea, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil,[3] and Singapore.[4]

The PIC invites 16 men's teams and 16 women's teams, 13 each from outside of British Columbia (Yukon and international) and the top 3 teams from the BC Club Challenge Championship.[5]
