The 2024–25 Biathlon IBU Cup, organised by the International Biathlon Union (IBU), was the 17th official IBU Cup season for men and women as the second level of international biathlon competitions.[1][2]
The season started on 28 November 2024 in Idre Fjäll, Sweden and concluded on 15 March 2025 in Otepää, Estonia.[3]
A major highlight of the season was the 2025 IBU Open European Championships held in Martell-Val Martello, Italy, which results also counted toward the IBU Cup rankings.
Mats Øverby from Norway (men's) and Océane Michelon from France (women's) were the reigning champions from the previous season.
Isak Frey from Norway and Camille Bened from France became the new overall champions. Their victories earned the Norwegian and French national teams the right to field an additional athlete in the World Cup events in Östersund and Hochfilzen during the 2025–26 season.
