World Curling Federation
The World Curling Federation allots two spots at the World Men's Curling Championship to the Americas Zone, which are normally taken by Canada and the United States. However, the World Curling Federation allows for other member nations in the Americas Zone (i.e. Brazil) to challenge Canada and/or the United States for berths to the World Championships. As hosts, Canada received an automatic berth to the 2015 World Championships. Thus, Brazil was allowed to challenge the United States for a berth to the 2015 World Championships. This was Brazil's third challenge of the United States, after challenges in 2009 and 2010 proved to be unsuccessful.
