Held annually since 1999, the International Skating Union (ISU) Four Continents Figure Skating Championships feature skaters from the Americas, Asia, Africa and Oceania. Skaters compete in singles, pairs and ice dancing.

The event is returning to the United States for the first time since 2012, when it was held in Colorado Springs, Colo. It was also held in the United States in 2006, 2007 and 2011. The U.S. delegation will be comprised of three athletes or teams in each discipline and will be named following the 2019 U.S. Figure Skating Championship, which is set to take place in Detroit from Jan. 19-27, 2019.

Last season, the United States captured four medals at the 2018 Championships in Taipei City, Chinese Taipei. Kaitlin Hawayek and Jean-Luc Baker won the ice dance competition and Jason Brown took the bronze medal in the men’s event. Team USA took the top two spots in the pairs competition with Tarah Kayne and Danny O’Shea winning gold, and Ashley Cain and Timothy LeDuc taking bronze.
