| Location: |  Netherlands |
The International Challenge Cup (formerly known as the Ennia Challenge Cup and the Aegon Cup) is an annual figure skating competition generally held in the Netherlands during the last week in February. Although the competition had been held for years in The Hague, a three-year contract was signed in 2022 with the city of Tilburg to host the competition at the IJssportcentrum Tilburg.
Medals may be awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior, junior, and novice levels.
History
In the 1970s and 1980s, the competition was titled the Ennia Challenge Cup and held in November. The event was later renamed as the Aegon Challenge Cup after its title sponsor, Aegon N.V.
Since 2017, the Dutch Figure Skating Championships have been combined with the Challenge Cup.
