Cranberry Cup International

The Cranberry Cup International is an annual figure skating competition sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU), organized and hosted by the Skating Club of Boston at their facility in Norwood, Massachusetts, in the United States.^[1] The competition debuted in 2021. In 2024, it became part of the Challenger Series. Medals are awarded in men's singles and women's singles at the senior and junior levels; when the event is part of the Challenger Series, skaters earn ISU World Standing points based on their results.

The inaugural edition of the Cranberry Cup International was held in 2021 at the Skating Club of Boston in Norwood, Massachusetts, in the United States. Vincent Zhou and Alysa Liu, both of the United States, won the men's and women's event, respectively. Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov of Russia won the pairs event.^[2] The pairs event was only held in 2021; beginning in 2022, only the men's and women's events have been contested.

In 2024, the Cranberry Cup International was the first event of the ISU Challenger Series,^[3] a series of international figure skating competitions sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU) and organized by ISU member nations. The objective is to ensure consistent organization and structure within a series of international competitions linked together, providing opportunities for senior-level skaters to compete at the international level and also earn ISU World Standing points.^[4] When an event is held as part of the Challenger Series, it must host at least three of the four disciplines (men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance) and representatives from at least ten different ISU member nations. The minimum number of entrants required for each discipline is eight skaters each in men's singles and women's singles, five teams in pair skating, and six teams in ice dance. Each ISU member nation is eligible to enter up to three skaters or teams per discipline in each competition, although the U.S. Figure Skating may enter an unlimited number of entrants in their own event. The Cranberry Cup International is held in conjunction with the John Nicks Pairs Challenge – the former hosts the men's and women's events, while the latter hosts the pairs event – and the two competitions constitute the U.S. Figure Skating's contribution to the Challenger Series.^[5] The 2026 Cranberry Cup International is scheduled to be held from 5 to 9 August.^[6]
