The U.S. Junior Figure Skating Championships are an annual figure skating competition organized by U.S. Figure Skating to crown the junior-level national champions of the United States. The first U.S. Championships for junior-level skaters were held in 1918 in New York City, and featured the men's and women's events. Skaters may qualify for the national championships by competing at either the Pacific Coast Sectional Finals, Eastern Sectional Finals, Midwestern Sectional Finals, U.S. Ice Dance Finals, or U.S. Pairs Finals. The results of the competition are among the criteria used to determine the American teams to the World Junior Championships. They have been held without interruption since 1920.
