The 1980

Macdonald Tobacco Company, who sponsored the Brier since the inaugural event in 1927
as the primary sponsor.

With a new sponsor came several changes to the Brier to make it more fan friendly such as a ban on smoking, a baseball-type scoreboard replacing the curling club-style scoreboard, and official umpires. The two biggest changes however were a three-team playoff after round robin play would determine the Brier champion with the top team in round robin play receiving a direct bye into the final and a new, shiny Labatt Tankard trophy replaced the old Macdonald Tankard trophy.[2]

Team Saskatchewan, who was skipped by Rick Folk captured the Brier tankard after they defeated Northern Ontario in the final 10–6.[3] Northern Ontario advanced to the final after they defeated Alberta in the semifinal 6–5.

This was the seventh and as of

Moncton, New Brunswick where they won Canada's first world championship since 1972
.
