The competition was held at the Taipei Arena. Completed at the end of August 2005, it is located on the intersection of Dunhua North Road and Section 4 of Nanjing East Road in Shongshan District. This arena is also the first international-standard competition venue with a capacity of 15,000 spectator seats in Taipei City. It is also designed to hold concerts, art performance, exhibitions, conventions, etc.
The Taipei Annex Arena was the official practice rink of the championships. It is an international-standard ice rink (30 meters x 60 meters) with a capacity of 800~1000 spectator seats. This ice rink is frozen all year round and has been used for all kind of winter sports activities (e.g. figure skating, short track speed skating and ice hockey) and also been hosted numerous local and international competitions.
The Sunworld Dynasty Hotel Taipei was the official hotel of the event. It is located in the center of financial, banking, and shopping district and the hotel is also surrounded by the MOMO Department Store. The walking distance to the event venue, Taipei Arena, is five minutes.
Skaters were eligible for the event if they were representing a non-European ISU member nation and had reached the age of 15 before 1 July 2013 in their place of birth. The corresponding competition for European skaters was the 2014 European Figure Skating Championships. National associations selected their entries according to their own criteria but the ISU mandated that their selections achieve a minimum technical elements score (TES) at an international event prior to the European Championships.
Unlike the European event, national associations at Four Continents are all allowed three entries in each discipline, regardless of how their skaters placed at the previous year's event.
Early withdrawals included Brazil's Isadora Williams and Singapore's Ceciliane Hartmann. Neither were replaced. A couple of days before the start of official practices, China's Yan Han was replaced by Guan Jinlin and Chinese Taipei's Melanie Yuung-Hui Chang withdrew and was not replaced. On January 20, Chinese pair team Yu Xiaoyu / Jin Yang withdrew as well. During the men's short program South Korea's Kim Jin-seo and the Philippines' Michael Christian Martinez withdrew from the competition.
