Ice Wars is an annual elite figure skating team competition. The first Ice Wars took place in 1994. From 1994 to 2004 the competition format "Team World" vs. "Team USA" or "Team North America". In 2005 the format was changed to a "Battle of the Sexes" format, Men vs. Ladies. It is an unsanctioned made-for-TV professional event, meaning that skaters who participate lose their eligibility to compete in the Winter Olympics and other events recognized by the International Skating Union.

Men, ladies, pair skaters, and ice dancers have all taken part in Ice Wars, though in 2005 only single skaters competed.

The event takes place in November, changing locations each year.

The 2001 competition was renamed "World Ice Challenge" after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States.
