The season began in Kuopio, Finland on 27 November 1999 and finished in Planica, Slovenia on the 19 March 2000. The individual World Cup overall winner was Martin Schmitt; small crystal globe in ski flying and Nordic Tournament both went to Sven Hannawald and Four Hills Tournament winner was Andreas Widhölzl. Nations Cup was taken by Team of Finland.
26 men's individual events at 18 different venues in 11 countries were held on three continents (Europe, Asia and North America). This season only one event (in ski flying) was cancelled in Bad Mitterndorf due to bad weather conditions (wind). There were also three men's team events held, first time in history team event in ski flying.
After four years break, the competition returned to North America to Iron Mountain, Michigan.
Peaks of the season were FIS Ski Flying World Championships (which didn't count for World Cup anymore), Four Hills Tournament and Nordic Tournament.
