The Nordic Tournament was an annual ski jumping tournament that was a part of the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup. The tournament started in 1997[1] as a counterpart to the widely successful Four Hills Tournament in Germany and Austria. The final edition was held in 2010.
The tournament was traditionally held in March and was hosted by venues in Finland and Norway. Some of the earlier (unofficial) editions also included a venue in Sweden.
