Organised byNew Zealand Ice Figure Skating Association

The New Zealand Figure Skating Championships are held annually to crown the national champions of New Zealand. Skaters compete in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior, junior, and novice levels, although not every discipline is held every year due to a lack of participants. The event is organized by the New Zealand Ice Figure Skating Association, the sport's national governing body.

The first New Zealand Championships were held in 1939 on the Manorburn Dam in Central Otago. Championships were conducted on outdoor ice rinks until 1952, when the Centaurus Ice Rink in Christchurch opened.[1]
