The 1999 Scott Tournament of Hearts, the Canadian women's national curling championship, was held from February 20 to 28, 1999[2] at the Charlottetown Civic Centre in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.[3] The total attendance for the week was 48,224.[1]
Team Nova Scotia, who was skipped by Colleen Jones won the event after beating defending champion Cathy Borst and Team Canada 6–4 in the final. This was Nova Scotia's first championship since 1983 and third overall and the second championship skipped by Jones, who previously won in 1982.
The seventeen years between championships for Jones not only broke the women's record for longest period between title wins, which was held by Marilyn Bodogh who went ten years between titles (1986 and 1996), but also broke the Canadian record regardless of gender between title wins which was previously held by Ab Gowanlock, who went fifteen years between Brier wins (1938 and 1953).
Jones' rink would go onto represent Canada at the 1999 Ford World Women's Curling Championship held on home soil in Saint John, New Brunswick where they missed the playoffs after finishing round robin play with a 4–5 record. This was the first time since 1982 (also skipped by Jones) in which Canada missed the playoffs at the world championship.
