2014–15 FIS Ski Jumping World Cup
# 2014–15 FIS Ski Jumping World Cup

The 2014–15 FIS Ski Jumping World Cup was the 36th World Cup season in ski jumping for men, the 18th official World Cup season in ski flying and the 4th World Cup season for ladies. It began on 22 November 2014 and ended on 22 March 2015 in Planica, Slovenia. A break took place during the season in February for the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2015 in Falun, Sweden.

The defending champions from the previous season were Kamil Stoch from Poland, Peter Prevc from Slovenia as defending ski flying champion, and Sara Takanashi from Japan.

The 63rd Four Hills Tournament offered extra prize money. Stefan Kraft of Austria won the tournament for the first time, followed by Michael Hayböck of Austria and Peter Prevc.

February 2015 saw an improvement of the world record in ski jumping distance. On 14 February, Peter Prevc set the new mark with 250 m (820 ft) in Vikersund, Norway. His achievement was beaten the next day by Anders Fannemel from Norway with 251 m (823 ft), which was the world record until March 2017.

Peter Prevc and Jurij Tepeš became the sixth and seventh man in ski jumping history to achieve a "perfect jump", with all five judges awarding them top style marks (5x20). This took place in Planica on 20 March (Prevc) and 22 March (Tepeš).

Severin Freund became the World Cup winner for the first time. Freund and Prevc ended the season with the identical number of points but Freund was awarded the title on the basis of higher number of victories during the season (nine for Freund and three for Prevc). Prevc defended the Ski flying title and Germany won the Nations cup.

In ladies' World cup Daniela Iraschko-Stolz won her first overall title and Austria won their first Nations cup.
