Ladies' podium from the 2018 Grand Prix of Helsinki.

The Grand Prix of Finland, known in certain years as the Grand Prix of Helsinki, Grand Prix of Espoo or Grand Prix Espoo is one of the series of six senior-level, international figure skating competitions held as part of the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating. The competition was first held in 2018 in Helsinki as a replacement for the then cancelled Cup of China.[1] Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent ban of Russian and Belarusian athletes in figure skating, the annually held Rostelecom Cup was cancelled.[2][3] As such, the Finnish Grand Prix returned in 2022 as the Grand Prix of Espoo, to serve as a replacement for the Rostelecom Cup.[4] The event is set to be held once again in Espoo as part of the 2023-24 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating.
