The New Zealand Figure Skating Championships are held annually to crown the national champions of New Zealand. Skaters compete in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior, junior, and novice levels, although not every discipline is held every year due to a lack of participants. The event is organized by the New Zealand Ice Figure Skating Association, the sport's national governing body.
The first New Zealand Championships were held in 1939 on the Manorburn Dam in Central Otago. Championships were conducted on frozen lakes on the South Island until 1952, when the Centaurus Ice Rink in Christchurch opened. [1] The first indoor rink on the North Island opened in 1964 in Wellington.
Ricky Cockerill and Ivan McDonald are tied for winning the most New Zealand Championship titles in men's singles (with seven each), while Gay Le Comte and Alexandra Rout are tied for winning the most New Zealand Championship titles in women's singles (with six each). McDonald holds the record in pair skating (with seven), although not all with the same partner, and also holds the record in ice dance (with nine); again, not with the same partner.
