The 1910 World Figure Skating Championships were an international figure‑skating competition sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU). The event took place in the early 1910s when the World Championships were contested primarily in the men's singles discipline; ladies' and pairs events were held only intermittently during this period.

- The competition was governed by the International Skating Union, which established the rules and judging standards used at the time.
Ladies' and Pairs Disciplines
The 1910 championships did not feature officially recognized ladies’ singles or pairs events within the ISU World Championship program. Consequently, no world titles were awarded in those disciplines for that year.
Historical Significance
The 1910 championships are notable for marking the culmination of Ulrich Salchow’s record‑setting string of world titles, a record that stood for many decades and contributed to the naming of the “salchow” jump, a fundamental element in modern figure skating.
