For the final time, the results of the World Championships, held in 1970 in Val Gardena, Italy, were included in the World Cup standings (except for the Alpine Combined results, because that discipline was not recognized in the World Cup until the 1974/75 season). Future Olympic and World Championship results were not included as World Cup races.

Malcolm Milne of Australia won the season's first downhill at Val d'Isère in December to become the first alpine racer from the Southern Hemisphere to win a World Cup event.

Note: Races 18, 19, and 20 were the events from the Alpine World Ski Championships in Val Gardena.
This was the final time that the World Championships (or Olympics) were counted in the World Cup standings.
