The early years of the World Cup, ‘67 through ‘72, were dominated by the French, as reflected in their Nations Cup wins in 5 of the first 6 years. The Austrian team then took over throughout the rest of the 1970s, followed by Swiss superiority during most of the 1980s. A resurgent Austrian team charged back to the top in 1988, beginning a long streak of consecutive Nations Cup triumphs. Austrian dominance reached its zenith in the late 1990s and 2000s (decade), when their points total regularly doubled that of the second-place finisher, and was capped in the

2003–4
.

As of the end of the

2004–5
, grabbing second in the Nations Cup for two straight years.

Under the current scoring system (since 1992), the winning nation (Austria every year) has averaged over 13000 points, with an average of over 6400 for the runner-up, 5400 for third place, 4200 for fifth, and 1300 for tenth. The all-inclusive scoring system (simply adding together all World Cup points earned) favors national teams with great depth and many racers scoring World Cup points, and even teams with several top racers have no realistic chance of breaking the Austrian grip on the top spot, while a team with only one or two top-ranked racers will struggle to ever break the top five in the standings. There have been numerous calls for a revamped scoring system which would allow other nations to compete more readily for top spots in the Nations Cup, but no changes are likely to be made.[2] In 2016, however, the Austrian men's team narrowly beat France by just 201 points.

The total number of top-three placings for each nation in the Nations Cup (through the

2022–23
season) are summarized below:

Nation Total standings   Men's standings   Ladies' standings
First Second Third First Second Third First Second Third
 Austria 42 14 1 42 11 2 34 15 6
   Switzerland 10 26 12 9 26 12 11 13 10
 France 5 2 2 3 7 5 6 3 4
 Italy 10 19 3 6 20 2 3 11
 United States 3 10 2 3 10 9
 Germany 1 9 1 4 12 13
 Norway 1 2 5 10
 Canada 1 1
 Liechtenstein 1 1
 Sweden 4 1 2
