The FIS Nordic Combined World Cup is a Nordic combined competition organized by the International Ski Federation (FIS), representing the highest level of international competition for men and women in the sport. It was first introduced in the 1983–84 season, while the team event made its debut in the 1999–00 season.
The current FIS race director is Lasse Ottesen, a former Norwegian ski jumper and world record holder.
History The World Cup was introduced at the 34th FIS Congress (8–15 May 1983, in Sydney) and has been determining the overall World Cup winner since the 1983/84 season. Additionally, from the 2000–01 season to 2007–08 season, a Sprint World Cup was held.
During the FIS autumn meeting in October 2014 in Zurich, participants decided to give greater importance to women's competitions. As a result, a dedicated Women's World Cup series has been held since the 2020–21 season.
