The International Ski Federation (FIS) Alpine Ski World Cup was the premier circuit for alpine skiing competition. The inaugural season launched in January 1967, and the 2018–19 season marks the 53rd consecutive year for the FIS World Cup.

The International Ski Federation (FIS) Alpine Ski World Cup, the premier circuit for alpine skiing competition, began in January 1967, and the 2019–20 season marked the 54th consecutive year for the FIS World Cup. As it had every year since 2006, the season began in Sölden, Austria in October. The season was supposed to end with the World Cup finals in March, which were to be held in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy for the first time since they began in 1993, but the finals were cancelled due to the COVID-19 outbreak in Italy.

The Women's Slalom World Cup 2020/2021 involved 9 events. In the season final, Austrian skier Katharina Liensberger won both the race and the season championship for the discipline, edging out both six-time discipline champion Mikaela Shiffrin from the USA and defending discipline champion Petra Vlhová from Slovakia. Liensberger thus became the first Austrian woman to win this discipline since Marlies Schild in 2011.

The Women's Overall World Cup 2020/2021 involved 31 events in 5 disciplines: downhill (DH), Super-G (SG), giant slalom (GS), slalom (SL), and parallel (PAR). The sixth discipline, Alpine combined (AC), had all of its events in the 2020–21 season cancelled due to the schedule disruption cased by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the next-to-last event, Slovakian skier Petra Vlhová clinched the overall title for the season over Swiss skier Lara Gut-Behrami.

The Women's Slalom World Cup 2019/2020 involved 6 events, although there were 9 originally scheduled. Defending champion Mikaela Shiffrin from the United States was leading the discipline standings by 80 after 5 events when her father Jeff suffered what proved to be a fatal head injury at the start of February, and Shiffrin missed the remainder of the season. Slovakian skier Petra Vlhová won the next event to move 20 points ahead of Shiffrin, and when all of the final three events, including the finals, scheduled for Saturday, 21 March in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, were cancelled -- the first by heavy snowfall and the last two by the COVID-19 pandemic -- Vlhová won the discipline title for the first time.

The Women's Parallel World Cup 2019/2020 was contested as a World Cup discipline separate from slalom for the first time in 2020. Prior to the season, FIS decided to combine parallel skiing events into a new discipline, joining the existing disciplines of downhill, Super-G, giant slalom, slalom, and Alpine combined. The discipline winner would receive a small crystal globe, similar to the other disciplines. However, at the same time, FIS decided to drop the city events to reduce the amount of travel required during the World Cup season, planning to replace them with more parallel events at regular venues.

The Women's Overall World Cup 2019/2020 involved 30 events in 6 disciplines: downhill (DH), Super-G (SG), giant slalom (GS), slalom (SL), Alpine combined (AC), and parallel (PAR). Three-time defending champion Mikaela Shiffrin of the United States had established a significant lead when her father Jeff suffered what proved to be a fatal head injury at the start of February, and Shiffrin missed the remainder of the season. After her departure, the two skiers closest to her in the overall standings, Federica Brignone of Italy and Petra Vlhová of Slovakia, competed in every event remaining in the season, regardless of the discipline, in an attempt to pass Shiffrin.

The International Ski Federation (FIS) Alpine Ski World Cup is the premier circuit for alpine skiing competition. The inaugural season launched in January 1967, and the 2021–22 season marks the 56th consecutive year for the FIS World Cup.

The Women's Slalom World Cup 2021/2022 is scheduled for 9 events, including the final. Only the top 25 in the slalom discipline ranking and the winner of the Junior World Championship, plus athletes who have scored at least 500 points in the World Cup overall classification, are eligible to compete in the final, and only the top 15 earn points.

The Women's Overall World Cup 2021/2022 is scheduled to include 37 events in 5 disciplines: downhill (DH), Super-G (SG), giant slalom (GS), slalom (SL), and parallel (PAR). The sixth discipline, Alpine combined (AC), had all of its events in the 2021–22 season cancelled due to the schedule disruption cased by the COVID-19 pandemic, which also happened in 2020-21. The season is scheduled to be interrupted by the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China from 6-19 February 2022.
