The 2019/20 Luge World Cup was held in nine World Cup races in five countries. It was the 42nd edition of the Luge World Cup since it was first held in 1977/78 .
The defending champions of the overall World Cup were the Russian Semjon Pawlitschenko (men's singles), the Germans Natalie Geisenberger (women singles) and Toni Eggert and Sascha Benecken (doubles). Germany won the team relay World Cup in winter 2018/19. In the sprint world cups, the Russian Roman Repilow won the men, the Germans Natalie Geisenberger won the women and Toni Eggert and Sascha Benecken won the doubles.
Natalie Geisenberger interrupted her career due to a baby break and was therefore unable to defend her title. Fourth place last year and two-time runner-up in the overall World Cup, Dajana Eitberger, also interrupted her career due to pregnancy.
Several Nova emerged during the season. In Lake Placid , athletes from Latvia won an individual race for the first time. Andris and Juris Šics won the two-seater sprint. At the race in Whistler , Caitlin Nash and Natalie Corless qualified for the first time an all-female toboggan double for a World Cup race.
As part of the World Cup, the continental championships were also held in so-called race-in-race races for scheduling reasons:

Points
The scoring system for the World and Nations Cup is similar. The first 40 tobogganists, descending from the maximum number of points 100, receive one point at rank 40. All ranks after 40th place are also counted and receive one point as long as the athletes have reached the finish.
