The 1986 Scott Tournament of Hearts, the Canadian women's national curling championship, was held from February 22 to March 1, 1986 at the Thompson Arena in London, Ontario.http://cdn.curling.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/1986_Scott_Tournament_of_Hearts.pdf The 1986 Scott Tournament of Hearts 2011-03-21 https://web.archive.org/web/20120319201557/http://cdn.curling.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/1986_Scott_Tournament_of_Hearts.pdf 2012-03-19 dead The total attendance for the week was 21,023. It was the first year the defending champions would get a berth into the competition and return as Team Canada, who was skipped by Linda Moore.
Team Ontario, who was skipped by Marilyn Darte won the championship on home soil after defeating defending champion Linda Moore and Team Canada 7–3 in the final. This was the first women's championship for Ontario and the first of two skipped by Darte (later Bodogh). This was the third time that the host province had won the event, joining New Brunswick in 1963 and Saskatchewan in 1972.2023 Scotties Tournament of Hearts Media Guide https://www.curling.ca/files/2023/02/2023-Scotties-Tournament-of-Hearts-media-guide-4.pdf Curling Canada 16 March 2023 88 19 January 2024 https://web.archive.org/web/20240119060257/https://www.curling.ca/files/2023/02/2023-Scotties-Tournament-of-Hearts-media-guide-4.pdf dead

In Draw 9, Newfoundland skip Sue Anne Bartlett became the first player in Canadian women's championship history to have played in 100 games.
Canada's 8–0 victory over Alberta in Draw 8 was the fourth time that a shutout occurred with the others being in 1963, 1970, and 1973. Additionally, this game only lasted four ends, which set a record for the fewest ends played in one game, which has since been matched twice in 1998 and 1999.
Canada's 3–2 victory over Newfoundland in the semifinal set the following records:
The five combined points scored tied a record set in 1971 for the lowest combined score between both teams in one game, which has been matched three times since. This still remains the lowest combined score in a semifinal game.
The six blank ends set a new record for most blank ends in one game, which has since been matched twice. This still remains a record for the most blank ends in a semifinal game.
Newfoundland blanked three straight ends beginning in the fifth end, which set a record for most consecutive blank ends in a semifinal game which hasn't been broken since.
The two points scored by Newfoundland also set a record for fewest points scored in a semifinal game by a single team, which hasn't been broken since either.
The three points scored in the final by Canada set a record for the fewest points scored in a final by one team. This has been matched three times since (1987, 1992, and 1994).
