The event adopted the name Rostelecom Cup in 2009 after its title sponsor. It was dropped in 2010,[1] but returned in 2011. The Rostelecom Cup was a successor to the Prize of Moscow News, an annual elite international event held in the Soviet Union from 1966 to 1990.
In April 2022, the ISU cancelled the 2022 Rostelecom Cup, which was to have been held in November. This decision was made in response to the recommendation of the International Olympic Committee to ban Russia and Belarus from hosting international athletic competitions after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
