2014–15 FIS Cross-Country World Cup


The 2014/15 FIS Cross-Country World Cup was a multi-race tournament over the season for cross-country skiers. The season begins on 29 November 2014 in Kuusamo, Finland and ends on 15 March 2015 in Oslo, Norway. The season's biggest event is FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2015.

On 20 July 2016, Martin Johnsrud Sundby was banned from competing in ski competions for 2 months by the FIS after having used an asthma medicine incorrectly during the 2014–15 season. He was also stripped of two wins, one of which also resulted in losing the Tour de Ski title. Due to losing a total of 616 points for the affected competitions he also lost the overall World Cup title.

The table shows the number of points won in the 2014–15 Cross-Country Skiing World Cup for men and women.

A skier's best results in all distance races and sprint races counts towards the overall World Cup totals.

All distance races, included individual stages in Tour de Ski and in World Cup Final (which counts as 50% of a normal race), count towards the distance standings. All sprint races, including the sprint races during the Tour de Ski and the first race of the World Cup final (which counts as 50% of a normal race), count towards the sprint standings.

In mass start races bonus points are awarded to the first 10 at each bonus station.

The Nations Cup ranking is calculated by adding each country's individual competitors' scores and scores from team events. Relay events count double, with only one team counting towards the total, while in team sprint events two teams contribute towards the total, with the usual World Cup points (100 to winning team, etc.) awarded.

WC stage events are not included. Only individual events.
