During the 13th Four Hills Tournament in 1964/65 , jumping took place in Oberstdorf on December 27th, followed by jumping in Garmisch-Partenkirchen on January 1st, and jumping in Innsbruck on January 3rd . The event in Bischofshofen took place on January 6th. The tour was won by the two-time bronze medalist at the Innsbruck Olympic Games, the Norwegian Torgeir Brandtzæg, ahead of his compatriot Björn Wirkola. In the post-Olympic season, the field of participants was not that big, especially since the jumpers from the GDR were completely absent this time. After the resignation of the three-time tour winner Helmut Recknagel, various injuries and ongoing political quarrels due to the Düsseldorf resolutions, no team from the GDR took part this time. The Norwegians were favored, with Engan and Brandtzæg, two medal winners from Innsbruck, and with Wirkola a promising talent. The outstanding jumper of the previous season and last year's winner, the Finn Veikko Kankkonen, had to take a break due to jaundice. And the Austrians also competed with a handicap. Her best jumper Baldur Preiml, who was third last year after all, paused due to a serious fall injury.

Oberstdorf
- Date: December 27, 1964
- Country: BR Germany
- Hill: Schattenbergschanze
- Spectators: 7,000
The first competition was won by the Olympic third from Innsbruck, Torgeir Brandtzæg. This achievement is all the more remarkable because the Scandinavian jumpers arrived in Oberstdorf late the evening before, because there were no flights from Scandinavia to Central Europe on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. He caused even bigger surprises for American Hicks in 3rd place and Italian Aimoni in 6th place. Max Bolkart, who had actually ended his career after the Olympic Games, jumped on his house hill and came in on a very respectable 9th place.

The New Year's jumping ended curiously. After a so-called quick evaluation, the German jumper Heini Ihle was declared the winner, which was also reported in the television broadcast. Only after a further check was the result corrected, the winner was now the previously unknown Finn Erki Pukka. With his second place, Ihle moved up to an excellent third place in the overall ranking. This continued to lead Brandtzæg, who managed a fifth place.

innsbruck
In the snowstorm, there was a Norwegian double success on the Olympic hill. The young Björn Wirkola was able to achieve a podium place on the tour for the first time behind the winner of the day Brandtzæg. Heini Ihle, who was third in the overall standings up to Innsbruck, fell in the first round and did not compete in the second round. As a result, he was no longer eligible for a promising placement in the overall ranking. With his third place in the daily standings, just 0.2 points behind Wirkola, Pole Przybyła now moved up to second place in the overall standings. Przybyła had already achieved the same ranking in the previous year before the final competition in Bischofshofen, but at that time with justified hopes of overall victory. This time Brandtzæg was almost unassailable ahead with a lead of over 46 points, the overall victory was only a matter of form.

Bischofshofen
- Date: January 6, 1965
- Country: Austria
- Hill: Paul-Ausserleitner-Schanze
The 21-year-old Björn Wirkola celebrated his first win of the day in Bischofshofen. In sometimes adverse weather conditions, he even jumped a new hill record of 103 m, but was later replaced by the Czechoslovak Motejlek with 104.5 m. But as Wirkola got the significantly better posture grades, Motejlek only got second place. Torgeir Brandtzaeg jumped more on safety and came in 7th, which was enough to secure overall victory. As in the previous year, the Pole Przybyła did not get by in Bischofshofen and did not place in the top twenty jumpers.

Total status
If the question of overall victory was resolved after the jumping in Innsbruck at the latest, the struggle for the podium was an exciting one. In the end, Wirkola was able to secure second place with his win in Bischofshofen. Dalibor Motejlek climbed to third place in the overall ranking thanks to his second place in Bischofshofen, which also meant the first podium placement of a Czechoslovak jumper on the tour. The Polish Przybyła suffered the same fate as last year, but this time after his miserable jumping in Bischofshofen he was only passed fifth in the overall ranking. After Heini Ihle's retirement, the German jumpers had nothing to do with the outcome of the tour, as did the Austrians, whose best jumper Peter Müller was still sixth overall.
