The table shows the number of points won in the 2011–12 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 (see World Cup final positions), 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.
