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.^[1]
