The Irish Figure Skating Championships are an annual figure skating competition organized by the Ice Skating Association of Ireland to crown the national champions of Ireland. Medals are awarded in men's singles, women's singles, and ice dance at the senior, junior, and novice levels, although not every discipline is held every year due to a lack of participants.
History
[edit]The Republic of Ireland Ice Skating Association (RIISA) was established in 1995, though it adopted its current name – the Ice Skating Association of Ireland (ISAI) – in 2008. Ireland joined the International Skating Union (ISU) in 2008. In 2008, Clara Peters became the first Irish skater to compete at an international competition – the Czech Skate in Ostrava, Czech Republic – and in 2009, she represented Ireland at both the European Figure Skating Championships and the World Figure Skating Championships.[1]
No competition was held in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
Since 2022, the Irish Championships have been held at the Dundee Ice Arena in Dundee, Scotland, in the United Kingdom. In 2022, Laura and Kevin Hegarty became the first skaters to compete in ice dance for Ireland.
