After using a four-team playoff the previous year, the playoff was reverted back to a three-team playoff with the round robin winner receiving a direct bye into the final.

Team Nova Scotia, who was skipped by Penny LaRocque won the event by defeating Alberta in the final 5–4. This was Nova Scotia's second consecutive championship and the only title won by LaRocque. As of 2023, LaRocque remains the only skip representing Nova Scotia other than Colleen Jones to win a championship. This is also the first time that either Atlantic or Eastern Canada had won consecutive titles.

LaRocque's rink would go onto represent Canada at the 1983 Pioneer Life World Women's Curling Championship on home soil in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan where they would lose in the semifinal to Norway.

The third place finish by Yukon/Northwest Territories would be the best finish ever by the Territories.
