Learmonth's compatriot Vicky Holland was outsprinted by Canada's Joanna Brown in the race for bronze.
England's Sophie Coldwell dropped back to sixth following a strong swim, with Wales' Non Stanford finishing eighth.
Duffy, 30, won the race - over a sprint course consisting of a 750m open-water swim, 20km cycle and 5km run - in 56 minutes 50 seconds.
The men's race - featuring England's two-time Olympic champion Alistair Brownlee and his brother Jonny - takes place from 04:00 BST.
