The '''[[International Ski Federation|FIS]] Nordic World Ski Championships''' have been held in various numbers and types of events since [[1925]] for men and since [[1954]] for women. Championship events include [[nordic skiing]]'s three disciplines: [[cross country skiing]], [[ski jumping]], and [[nordic combined]] (the latter being a combination sport consisting of both cross-country skiing and ski jumping). From [[1924]] to [[1939]], the World Championships were held every year, including the [[Winter Olympics]]. After World War 2, the World Championships were held in even-numbered years from [[1948]] to [[1982]], including the [[Winter Olympics]]. Since [[1985]], the World Championships have been held in odd-numbered years.
==Historical notes==
# From [[1925]] to [[1927]], the FIS referred to these events as Rendezvous races. During the periods of [[1929]]-[[1931]] and [[1933]]-[[1935]], the FIS referred to these events as FIS races. This event has been officially referred to as the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships since [[1937]].
# The [[FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 1941]] were declared a non-event by the FIS at their [[1946]] meeting and their results have been struck from the official records.
# The [[FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 1980]] consisted of a women's 20 km cross-country event because it was not included in the program of the [[1980 Winter Olympics|Winter Olympics]] at [[Lake Placid, New York|Lake Placid]].
# The [[FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 1984]] consisted of team events in both ski jumping and Nordic combined held at separate locations because neither event was included in the program of the [[1984 Winter Olympics|Winter Olympics]] in [[Sarajevo]].
