All top level and other international events before the World Cup was founded were part of FIS (race) competitions.
International Ski Federation was founded in 1924 and in 1979 World Cup was introduced.
Between this period of time FIS Race was the top level of international ski jumping competition, not counting Olympics and world championships.
Even competition such as Four Hills Tournament was part of FIS race before World Cup (1953–1979).
But since 2006, when a new third level of competition FIS Cup was introduced, the number of events drastically fell.
