The 2018 Grand Prix Helsinki was held in Helsinki, Finland, from November 2-4. It was the third event of the 2018-19 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating, a senior-level international invitational competition series. Finland was chosen as the host after the Chinese Skating Association declined to host their annual Grand Prix event, the Cup of China. Medals were awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing. Skaters competed to earn points toward qualifying for the 2018-19 Grand Prix Final. Over 20,000 tickets were sold.
