The 6th Biathlon World Championships were held in 1965 in Elverum, Norway. The men's 20 km individual and team were the only official competitions. In these particular championships an unofficial men's 4 × 7.5 km relay was also held. It was a success, and replaced the team competition as an official event in 1966.
