The season began in Oberstdorf, West Germany on 30 December 1980 and it finished in Planica, Yugoslavia on 22 March 1981. The individual World Cup overall winner was Austrian ski jumper Armin Kogler and Nations Cup winner was Team of Austria.

24 men's individual events on 19 different venues in 12 countries were held. Three scheduled World Cup events in Zakopane and Cortina d'Ampezzo were completely canceled and one ski flying event in Ironwood (due to strong wind) was also cancelled.
