International Challenge Cup

The International Challenge Cup (formerly the Ennia Challenge Cup and the Aegon Cup)[1] is an annual figure skating competition generally held during the last week in February, up till the 2021 edition held in The Hague, Netherlands. Since the 2022 edition a three year contract has been signed with the city of Tilburg to host the event from the IJssportcentrum Tilburg with practice being organised on the neighbouring Ireen Wüst Ice Rink.

International Challenge Cup

Medals may be awarded in men's singles, women' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing on the senior, junior, novice, and pre-novice levels, such as "Debs". Some categories may be omitted in some years due to a lack of participants.

History

In the 1970s and 1980s, the competition was titled the Ennia Challenge Cup and held in November.[2][3] It did not include compulsory figures.[4] The event later become known as the Aegon Challenge Cup after its title sponsor, Aegon N.V.[1]

By the 21st century, the competition had moved to February or March. The 2016 edition was cancelled. In 2022 the Challenge Cup was hosted in the city of Tilburg leaving The Hague after years of being home to the Challenge Cup.
