It began in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy on 27 December 1979 and has finished in Štrbské Pleso, Czechoslovakia on 25 March 1980. The individual World Cup overall winner was Hubert Neuper, who also won the Four Hills Tournament. The Nations Cup winner was Team of Austria.
The event in Vikersund, Norway took place over three days from 29 February to 2 March 1980, with the second day of competition being cancelled due to strong winds. The total points from the first and last competitions counted as a single WC win: this remains the only time in World Cup history when the results from more than one event counted as a single combined event.
25 men's individual events on 18 different venues in 14 countries were held. Peaks of the season were Olympics, 4H Tournament, Swiss Tournament and K.O.P. International Ski Flying Week.
Competitions were held on three different continents; Europe, Asia and North America.
