# Nastia Liukin Cup

The Nastia Liukin Cup (formerly the Nastia Liukin Supergirl Cup from 2010–11) is an annual artistic gymnastics competition held in the United States and hosted by Olympic gymnast Nastia Liukin.

## History

In August 2009, USA Gymnastics announced that they had partnered with 2008 Olympic champion Nastia Liukin to create a competitive opportunity for the country's top Junior Olympic gymnasts that is intended to serve as a debut for pre-elite competitors on the national stage. The inaugural Nastia Liukin Cup was held in 2010 and had 36 participants.
Eligible to compete are Level 10 female gymnasts in both the junior and senior fields. Gymnasts will be chosen to participate from a series of invitationals known as the Nastia Liukin Cup Series. Prior to 2014, junior and senior gymnasts competed in the same field.
