The FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 1941 took place February 1–10, 1941 in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. The previous championships of 1940 were scheduled for Norway, but were cancelled in the wake of Germany's invasion of Norway during World War II. At the 1946 meeting in Pau, France, the FIS declared this a non-event because of the limited number of competitors. Medals were awarded in this event, but not counted in the overall FIS Nordic World Ski Championships as a result.
Berauer was from Czechoslovakia while Gstrein was from Austria, but both competed for Germany after the Nazis occupied their respective countries in 1938.
A military patrol competition, 25 km cross-country skiing and rifle shooting, was also held outside of the official FIS Nordic World Ski Championships.
