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 () at the Arena COS Torwar 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, and it 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 when the event is part of the Challenger Series, skaters earn ISU World Standing points based on their results.
Alexander Majorov of Sweden and Vladimir Samoilov of Poland are tied for winning the most Warsaw Cup titles in men's singles (with two each), while Ekaterina Kurakova of Poland holds the record in women's singles (with three). Valentina Marchei and Ondřej Hotárek of Italy, and Anastasiia Metelkina and Luka Berulava of Georgia, are tied for winning the most titles in pair skating (with two each), while Evgeniia Lopareva and Geoffrey Brissaud of France hold the record in ice dance (with three).
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. The Warsaw Cup was exclusively a junior-level competition until 2010, when a senior-level pairs event was added. Men's and women's events at the senior level were added in 2012.
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. When an event is held as part of the Challenger Series, it must host at least three of the four disciplines (men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance) and representatives from at least ten different ISU member nations. The minimum number of entrants required for each discipline is eight skaters each in men's singles and women's singles, five teams in pair skating, and six teams in ice dance. Each ISU member nation is eligible to enter up to three skaters or teams per discipline in each competition, although the Polish Figure Skating Association may enter an unlimited number of entrants in their own event.
When the Warsaw Cup became a Challenger Series event in 2014, it marked the end of its junior-level competitions. Ice dance at the senior level was also added in 2014 to coincide with the competition's new Challenger Series status. 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. The Warsaw Cup returned to the Challenger Series in 2019, but no competition was held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The competition returned in 2021 and has been a Challenger Series event ever since. The 2026 Warsaw Cup is scheduled to be held from 25 to 29 November.
