The 1996 Pacific Curling Championships were held from November 26 to 29 in Sydney, Australia.

Australia won the men's event over Japan (it was the sixth Pacific title for the Australian men). On the women's side, Japan defeated Australia in the final (it was the fifth Pacific title for the Japanese women).

By virtue of winning, the Australian men's team and the Japanese women's team qualified for the 1997 World Men's and Women's Curling Championships in Bern, Switzerland.

It was the first appearance at the Pacific championships for the men's and women's teams of South Korea.
