The 2019–20 FIS Cross-Country World Cup was the 39th official World Cup season in cross-country skiing for men and women. The season began on 29 November 2019 in Ruka, Finland and concluded on 8 March 2020 in Oslo, Norway.^[1]

The Sprint Tour, a stage event scheduled in Quebec City^[2] and Minneapolis^[3] on 14–17 March 2020 was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. The same reason forced the cancellation of World Cup scheduled in Canmore on 20–22 March 2020, including mixed relay.^[4]

Det har bydd på mektige øyeblikk, spennende utfordringa og æ har blitt kjent med så mange fine folk. • Syns selv at æ har oppnådd mye som skiløper, og det e æ stolt av. Det å gå et skirenn gir mæ en helt spesiell følelse, en følelse æ aldri vil glemme. Av alle renn æ har gått, e det spesielt to renn æ vil husk godt – da æ vant gull i jr.VM i Kazakstan og U23-VM i Salt Lake City, USA. • en indre drive i mæ har alltid søkt etter kontinuerlig utvikling i skisporet, men etter hvert har ønsket om å ta fatt på andre utfordringa blitt større. Det e heller ikke til å legge skjul på at koronasituasjonen har ført til usikkerhet rundt kommende skisesong. Æ har derfor valgt å ende toppidrettssatsinga her. • Fremover vente en ny og spennende hverdag i @em1trondheimsentrum . Firmaet som har vært min viktigste støttespiller de siste åran har også gitt mæ muligheten til å utvikle mæ videre hos dem – det e æ veldig takknemlig for. • Vil avslutte med å takke familie, @teamveidekkemidtnorge, @billangrenn, trenera, sponsora og samarbeidspartnera for alt dem har bidratt med. Tusen Takk. • @sparebank1smn •@fischernordic •@fischer_norge •@nardobil" .
