Currently disciplines contested in the World Cup are: Paralell giant slalom and Paralell slalom (grouped into Parallel category), Halfpipe, Big air and Slope style (grouped into AFU category) and the discipline-category of Snowboard cross. Some of these disciplines have played discontinuously in time. The only discipline contested in every season of the World Cup is the Halfpipe (and from 1996-97 season the Snowboard cross).
There was an Overall classification until the 2009-10 season. Since then, the World Cup is divided into the three categories described above, some of which already existed before.
