# 2017–18 FIS Ski Jumping World Cup

The 2017–18 FIS Ski Jumping World Cup was the 39th World Cup season in ski jumping for men, the 21st official World Cup season in ski flying, and the 7th World Cup season for ladies. The season began on 19 November 2017 in Wisła, Poland, and concluded on 25 March 2018 in Planica, Slovenia.
The highlight of the ladies' season was the first edition of the "Lillehammer Triple", contested between 1–3 December 2017 in Lillehammer, with a total of three individual events: two on the normal hill and one on the large hill. The best athletes of these three competitions received an additional prize money of €10,000 (divided between the Top 3).
On 16 December 2017, the first ever ladies' World Cup team event was held in Hinterzarten.
The first edition of a new competition, the "Willingen Five", took place from 2–4 February 2018 in Willingen. A total of five rounds counted in the final standings: Friday's qualification round, two individual competition rounds from Saturday and two from Sunday. The Willingen Five overall winner was awarded with an extra €25,000.
The first edition of a new competition, the "Planica7", took place from 22–25 March 2018 in Planica. A total of seven rounds counted in the final standings: Thursday's qualification round, two individual competition rounds on Friday, two team competition rounds on Saturday and two individual competition rounds from the season final on Sunday. The Planica 7 overall winner was awarded with an extra 20,000 CHF.
For the first time since the introduction of qualification sessions in the 1990–91 season, the top ten athletes in the World Cup rankings were no longer "pre-qualified", and therefore had to achieve a result good enough for them to qualify for the competition.
