We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of Numenius arquata (Eurasian Curlew; Chordata; Aves; Charadriiformes; Scolopacidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 1,348.86 megabases and 1,198.36 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (89.99%) is scaffolded into 41 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the W and Z sex chromosomes. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 17.13 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 15,412 protein-coding genes.
