The FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 1999 took place February 19–28, 1999 in Ramsau am Dachstein, Austria.

The large hill ski jumping events took place at the Paul-Ausserleitner-Schanze in Bischofshofen.

The 7.5 km Nordic combined sprint event debuted at these championships.

Botvinov fell during his leg, causing Austria to lose its large lead, setting up a fight to the finish between Austria's Hoffmann and Norway's Alsgaard.

As of 2024, this is the last men's relay at the world championships that was not won by Norway.
