The 2009 Nebelhorn Trophy was held between September 23 and 26, 2009 in Oberstdorf, Germany. It served as the final Olympic qualifier to the 2010 Winter Olympics. Skaters competed in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dance. The compulsory dance was the Tango Romantica.

Olympic qualification

This competition served as the final Olympic qualifier to the 2010 Winter Olympics. Eligible skaters qualified a spot to the Olympics for their country in order of their placement at this competition; there was no individual skater qualification. Countries who had already qualified a spot to the Olympics at the 2009 World Figure Skating Championships were not eligible to qualify more spots here, and their results were discounted from the overall results when allotting spots to countries. Unlike at the World Championships, where countries could qualify more than one spot depending on the placement of the skater, at this competition, countries who qualified were allotted only one spot to the Olympics, regardless of placement.

There were six Olympic spots available in men's singles, seven in ladies' singles, four in pairs, and five in ice dance. There were originally only six spots available in the ladies event; however, Georgia gave up one of its ladies spots before the competition, which allowed a seventh spot to become available.

If a country later declined to use one or more of its qualified spots, the vacated spot was awarded using the results of the Nebelhorn Trophy in descending order of placement.

Qualified countries

The following countries qualified an entry to the Olympics. In the event that a country chooses not to fill a spot, the next alternate in line is allotted the spot.

Men	Ladies	Pairs	Ice dance
Switzerland  Austria  Germany  North Korea  Romania  Finland	China  Hungary  Slovenia  Austria  Spain  Belgium  Israel*	Switzerland  Estonia  Poland  Italy	China  Czech Republic  Hungary  Estonia  Georgia
First Three Alternates
Belarus  Estonia  United Kingdom	Czech Republic  Uzbekistan  Australia	North Korea  Chinese Taipei  Greece	Greece

• Georgia, which had earned two spots in the ladies event at the World Championships, informed the ISU before the competition that they would not be filling their second spot. Therefore, Israel qualified an entrant here.
