The 1974 Macdonald Lassies Championship, the Canadian women's curling championship was held February 24 to 28, 1974 at the Victoria Memorial Arena in Victoria, British Columbia.[2] The attendance for the week was 25,024.[1]

Team Saskatchewan, who was skipped by Emily Farnham won the event by finishing round robin play undefeated with a 9–0 record. This was Saskatchewan's sixth consecutive championship and seventh overall. This was the only national championship appearance for Farnham. The event capped a stellar season for the team, which won 120 out of 122 games, with one of their two losses coming against a men's team.[3]

Saskatchewan's six consecutive championships set a record for the most consecutive championships by one province in either the men's and women's national championships surpassing Manitoba's five consecutive Brier championships from 1928 to 1932.
