Provided is a method of manufacturing a circuit board involves: preparing a composite laminate including a support, a release layer, and a multilayered circuit board; disposing the composite laminate on a stage such that one face of the composite laminate is put into tight contact with the stage; and releasing the support or the multilayered circuit board from the release layer such that the support or the multilayered circuit board forms a convex face with a curvature radius of 200 to 5000 mm while the face of the composite laminate is kept in tight contact with the stage. The method according to the present invention can prevent the occurrences of defects, for example, breaking in the support and cracking and wire disconnections in the multilayered circuit board in manufacturing of circuit boards, such as coreless circuit boards, and ensure stable release of the support or the multilayered circuit board.
