Let $G$ be a finite group. A faithful $G$ -variety $X$ is called strongly incompressible if every dominant $G$ -equivariant rationalmap of $X$ onto another faithful $G$ -variety $Y$ is birational. We settle the problem of existence of strongly incompressible $G$ -curves for any finite group $G$ and any base field $k$ of characteristic zero.
