The Four Nationals Figure Skating Championships are an annual figure skating competition organized by the Czech Figure Skating Association, Hungarian Skating Federation, Polish Figure Skating Association, and Slovak Figure Skating Association. Medals are awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior level, and in pair skating and ice dance at the junior level, although not every discipline is held every year due to a lack of participants. The results are then split to form national podiums for each nation.
Tomáš Verner of the Czech Republic currently holds the record for winning the most championship titles in men's singles (with six), while Ekaterina Kurakova of Poland holds the record in women's singles (also with six). Ioulia Chtchetinina of Poland and Márk Magyar of Hungary are tied for winning the most championship titles in pair skating (with three each), and while two of those titles were won together, the others were won with different partners. Natalia Kaliszek and Maksym Spodyriev of Poland hold the record in ice dance (with six).

Perspective
After the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1992, the Czech Skating Association and the Slovak Figure Skating Association ran independent national championships until the 2006–07 season, when the two associations joined their national championships together as one event. The inaugural Czech and Slovak Figure Skating Championships were held in Liberec in the Czech Republic. Tomáš Verner of the Czech Republic won the men's event, while Igor Macypura was the highest ranked Slovak men's singles skater. Ivana Reitmayerová of Slovakia won the women's event, while Nella Simaová was the highest ranked Czech women's singles skater. Kamila Hájková and David Vincour of the Czech Republic were the only entrants in the ice dance event.[1] The Czech Republic and Slovakia alternated as hosts for the combined championships until the 2008–09 season, when Poland joined and the Three Nationals Figure Skating Championships were officially formed.[2] Since Hungary joined during the 2013–14 season, the event has been known as the Four Nationals Figure Skating Championships.[3] Skaters from the four countries compete together and the results are split at the end of the competition to form national podiums.[4]
In 2021, Hungary held their own national championships when the COVID-19 pandemic made travel to the 2021 Four Nationals Championships in Cieszyn, Poland, unfeasible.[5] The 2026 Four Nationals Championships are scheduled to be held 11–13 December 2025 in Slovakia.[6]
