The 2021 Tankard was one of the few provincial curling championships to be held in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada. While most provincial championships were cancelled, both the Newfoundland and Labrador men's and women's provincials were given the green light by the provincial government and chief medial officer.[2]
In the final, Greg Smith won his second tankard by defeating Colin Thomas 9–8 in a double extra end.
