The Mezzaluna Cup is an annual ice dance competition sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU), organized and hosted by the Italian Ice Sports Federation (Italian: Federazione Italiana Sport del Ghiaccio) at the Palaghiaccio Mezzaluna in Mentana, in the Metropolitan City of Rome Capital in Italy.[1] Medals may be awarded at the senior, junior, and novice levels, although competition at every level may not be held every year due to a lack of entrants.

The Mezzaluna Cup is held in honor of Simonetta Spalluto, an Italian ice dance referee and judge, who helped organize the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin,[2] as well as Walter Zuccaro, an Italian ice dance judge and member of the ISU Dance Technical Commission.[3][1]
