2018–19 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup


The International Ski Federation Alpine Ski World Cup was the premier circuit for alpine skiing competition. The inaugural season launched in January 1967, and the season marks the 53rd consecutive year for the FIS World Cup.
This season began in October 2018 in Sölden, Austria, and concluded in mid-March 2019 at the finals in Soldeu, Andorra. The biennial World Championships interrupted the tour in early February in Åre, Sweden. During the season, the most successful female skier of all time, four-time overall World Cup champion Lindsey Vonn of the United States, retired after the World Championships, at which she won a bronze medal in downhill. Also, two-time overall champion Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway retired at the same meet, at which he won a silver medal in downhill.
Marcel Hirscher of Austria won his eighth straight men's overall championship, an all-time record, and moved in third place in overall wins behind only Ingemar Stenmark and Vonn. Mikaela Shiffrin of the United States won her third straight women's overall championship and moved into 5th place on the overall win list. After the season, Hirscher also retired.
