The Trophée Métropole Nice Côte d'Azur is an annual figure skating competition sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU), organized and hosted by the French Federation of Ice Sports (French: Fédération Française des Sports de Glace) and the Nice Baie des Anges Association at the Palais des sports Jean-Bouin in Nice, France. Originally known as the International Cup of Nice (French: Coupe Internationale de Nice), it was held from 1995 to 2017; and then returned in 2021 with its new name. In 2024, it was a part of the ISU Challenger Series. Medals may be awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior and junior levels; and as part of the Challenger Series, skaters earn ISU World Standing points based on their results.

Adam Siao Him Fa of France holds the record for winning the most titles in men's singles (with four), while Léa Serna of France holds the most titles in women's singles (with three). Yuko Kavaguti and Alexander Smirnov of Russia hold the record in pair skating (with three), while Penny Coomes and Nicholas Buckland of Great Britain, and Juulia Turkkila and Matthias Versluis of Finland, are tied for winning the most titles in ice dance (with two each).

History

The International Cup of Nice was launched in 1995 by the Nice Baie des Anges Association to promote figure skating and ice dance.

In 2024, the Trophée Métropole Nice Côte d'Azur was the seventh event of the ISU Challenger Series, a series of international figure skating competitions sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU). 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.
