The Trophée Métropole Nice Côte d'Azur is an annual figure skating competition sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU), organized and hosted by the French Federation of Ice Sports (French: Fédération Française des Sports de Glace) and the Nice Baie des Anges Association at the Palais des sports Jean-Bouin in Nice, France.[1] Originally known as the International Cup of Nice (French: Coupe Internationale de Nice), it was held from 1995 to 2017; and then returned in 2021 with its new name.[2] In 2024, it became part of the ISU Challenger Series. Medals may be awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior and junior levels; and as part of the Challenger Series, skaters earn ISU World Standing points based on their results.

Adam Siao Him Fa of France holds the record for winning the most titles in men's singles (with three), while Viktória Pavuk of Hungary, Léa Serna of France, and Elizaveta Tuktamysheva of Russia are tied for winning the most titles in women's singles (with two each). Yuko Kavaguti and Alexander Smirnov of Russia hold the record in pair skating (with three), while Penny Coomes and Nicholas Buckland of Great Britain, and Juulia Turkkila and Matthias Versluis of Finland, are tied for winning the most titles in ice dance (with two each).
