Warsaw Cup

This article is about the figure skating competition. For the tennis tournament, see WTA Poland Open.

The Warsaw Cup is an annual figure skating competition sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU), organized and hosted by the Polish Figure Skating Association (Polish: Polski Związek Łyżwiarstwa Figurowego) and held in Warsaw, Poland. The Warsaw Cup debuted in 2002 as a junior-level competition. A pairs event for senior-level skaters was added in 2010, men's and women's in 2012, and ice dance in 2014. When the ISU launched the ISU Challenger Series in 2014, the Warsaw Cup was one of the inaugural competitions. The Warsaw Cup has been a Challenger Series almost every year since. Medals are awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance; and as part of the Challenger Series, skaters earn ISU World Standing points based on their results.

History

The inaugural edition of the Warsaw Cup was held in 2002 and consisted only of the men's and women's events at the junior level.^[1] A junior-level pairs event was added in 2003. The Warsaw Cup was exclusively a junior-level competition until 2010, when a senior-level pairs event was added.^[2] Men's and women's events at the senior level were added in 2012.^[3]

The ISU Challenger Series was introduced in 2014. It is a series of international figure skating competitions sanctioned by the International Skating Union and organized by ISU member nations. The objective is to ensure consistent organization and structure within a series of international competitions linked together, providing opportunities for senior-level skaters to compete at the international level and also earn ISU World Standing points.^[4] When the Warsaw Cup became a Challenger Series event beginning in 2014, that marked the end of its junior-level competitions.^[5] Ice dance at the senior level was also added in 2014 to coincide with the competition's new Challenger Series status.^[5] The Warsaw Cup was a Challenger Series event from 2014 to 2017. The Warsaw Cup was held in 2018, but not as part of the Challenger Series, and junior-level competitions in the men's and women's events, and ice dance, made a one-time reappearance.^[6] It returned to the Challenger Series in 2019.^[7] No competition was held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[8] The competition returned in 2021 and has been a Challenger Series event ever since. The 2015 Warsaw Cup is scheduled to take place 19–23 November in Warsaw.^[9]
