For the final time, the results of the World Championships, held in 1970 in Val Gardena, Italy, were included in the World Cup standings (excepted the Alpine Combine results, because that discipline was established in the World Cup not before the season 1974/75). Future Olympic and World Championship results were not included as World Cup races.

Malcolm Milne of Australia won the season's first downhill at Val d'Isère in December to become the first alpine racer from the Southern Hemisphere to win a World Cup event.
