ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating

The ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating – originally called the ISU Junior Series – was established by the International Skating Union (ISU) in 1997 and consists of a series of seven international figure skating competitions exclusively for junior-level skaters. The locations of the JGP events change every year. Medals may be awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance. While all seven competitions feature the men's, women's, and ice dance events, only four competitions each season feature the pairs event. Skaters earn points based on their results each season, and the top skaters or teams in each discipline are then invited to compete at the Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final. Beginning with the 2008–09 figure skating season, Junior Grand Prix Final has been held in conjunction with the Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final.

Skaters are eligible to compete on the junior-level circuit if they are at least 13 years old before July 1 of the respective season, but not yet 19 (for single skaters), 21 (for men and women in ice dance and women in pair skating), or 23 (for men in pair skating). Competitors are chosen by their respective skating federations. The number of entries allotted to each ISU member nation in each discipline is determined by their results at the prior World Junior Figure Skating Championships. Each skater or team is limited to participating in no more than two Junior Grand Prix competitions per season.

Switzerland hosted the very first Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final, the culminating event of the Junior Grand Prix series, in 1997 in Lausanne. Timothy Goebel of the United States won the men's event, and also became the first skater in the world to successfully perform a quadruple Salchow in competition, and the first American skater to land a quadruple jump of any kind in competition. At the 2002 Junior Grand Prix Final in The Hague, Miki Ando of Japan became the first woman to land a quadruple jump in competition when she performed a quadruple Salchow.
