North American Figure Skating Championships

The North American Figure Skating Championships were a biennial figure skating competition, and although they were sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU), they were actually a joint venture of the Canadian Figure Skating Association and the United States Figure Skating Association. The first North American Championships were held in 1923 in Ottawa, Canada, and featured men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and four skating. The championships were held every other year, with Canada and the United States alternating as hosts, as only skaters from Canada and the United States were eligible to compete. The championships were interrupted only once, in 1943, due to World War II. Ice dance was added as an event in 1947, while four skating was retired after 1949. The last edition was held in Peterborough, Canada, in 1971.

Montgomery Wilson of Canada holds the record for winning the most North American Championship titles in men's singles (with six), his sister Constance Wilson-Samuel holds the record in women's singles (with four), and the two hold the record in pair skating (with three). Four teams are tied for winning the most titles in ice dance (with two each): Carmel Bodel and Edward Bodel of the United States, Lorna Dyer and John Carrell of the United States, Lois Waring and Walter Bainbridge of the United States, and Geraldine Fenton and William McLachlan of Canada. McLachlan also won a third ice dance title with a previous partner.
