The [[FIS Ski Jumping World Cup]] has been contested since the [[1979–80 FIS Ski Jumping World Cup|1979–80]] season.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fis-ski.com/ski-jumping/news-multimedia/news/article=facts-figures-about-the-world-cup-sapporo.html|title=Facts & Figures about the World Cup in Sapporo|date=23 January 2014|access-date=14 March 2017|publisher=[[International Ski Federation]]}}</ref> It runs between November and March every season, and consists of 25–30 competitions at most prestigious hills across Europe, United States and Japan. Competitors are awarded a fixed number of points in each event according to their ranking, and the overall winner is the one with most accumulated points. [[FIS Ski Flying World Cup]] is contested as a sub-event of the World Cup, and competitors collect only the points scored at ski flying hills from the calendar.

The [[FIS Ski Flying World Championships]] was first contested in 1972 in [[Planica]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.slovenia.si/slovenia/society/sport/winning-disciplines/planica-cradle-of-slovenian-sport/|title=Planica – cradle of Slovenian sport|access-date=14 March 2017|publisher=slovenia.si|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170315003428/http://www.slovenia.si/slovenia/society/sport/winning-disciplines/planica-cradle-of-slovenian-sport/|archive-date=2017-03-15|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The [[Four Hills Tournament]] has been contested since the 1952–53 season.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.vierschanzentournee.com/en/ergebnisse/tourneesieger |title=All Winners |website=Four Hills Tournament}}</ref> It is contested around the New Year's Day at four venues – two in Germany ([[Oberstdorf]] and [[Garmisch-Partenkirchen]]) and two in Austria ([[Innsbruck]] and [[Bischofshofen]]), which are also scored for the World Cup. Those events are traditionally held in a slightly different format than other World Cup events (first round is held as a knockout event between 25 pairs of jumpers), and the overall winner is determined by adding up individual scores from every jump.

Other competitions organised by the International Ski Federation include the [[FIS Ski Jumping Grand Prix]] (held in summer), [[FIS Ski Jumping Continental Cup|Continental Cup]], [[FIS Cup (ski jumping)|FIS Cup]], [[FIS Race (ski jumping)|FIS Race]], and [[FIS Ski Jumping Alpen Cup|Alpen Cup]].
