Season began on 22 November 2014 and ended on 22 March 2015 in Planica, Slovenia. Women's WC began on 5 December 2014 in Lillehammer, Norway and ended on 13 March 2015 in Oslo, Norway.
Severin Freund won the World Cup overall for the first time. Freund and Prevc ended the season with the identical number of points but Freund was awarded the title on the basis of higher number of wins during the season (nine for Freund and three for Prevc).[1] And the men's Nations Cup was taken by Team of Germany.
Peter Prevc (20 March) and Jurij Tepeš (22 March) became the sixth and seventh man in ski jumping history to achieve a "perfect jump", with all five judges awarding them top style marks (5x20). Both of those marks were awarded at the season final in Planica.
February 2015 saw an improvement of the world record in ski jumping distance. On 14 February, Peter Prevc set the new mark with 250 m (820 ft) in Vikersund, Norway. His achievement was beaten the next day by Anders Fannemel from Norway with 251 m (823 ft), which was the world record until March 2017. Russian ski jumper Dmitri Vassiliev jumped 254 metres (833 ft), then longest ever, but crashed on the back and didn't count it.
The 63rd Four Hills Tournament offered extra prize money. Stefan Kraft won it for the first time, followed by Michael Hayböck and Peter Prevc.
In women's World cup Daniela Iraschko-Stolz won her first overall title and Austria won their first Nations cup.
