1975 Macdonald Lassies Championship

The 1975 Macdonald Lassies Championship, the Canadian women's curling championship was held February 23 to 28, 1975 at the Moncton Coliseum in Moncton, New Brunswick.[1]

Quebec and Saskatchewan both finished round robin play tied for first with 7–2 records, necessitating a tiebreaker playoff between the two teams. Team Quebec, who was skipped by Lee Tobin defeated Saskatchewan in the tiebreaker 7–5 to capture the championship, preventing Saskatchewan from winning their seventh straight title. To date, this is Quebec's only women's championship. It was also only the second time that a team from Eastern Canada had won the championship, joining New Brunswick who won in 1963.
