The Hahnenkamm Races (German: Hahnenkamm Rennen or Rooster Comb Races) is one of the world's most prestigious FIS Alpine Ski World Cup race in Kitzbühel, Austria, held annually since 1931.

This is the world's second oldest alpine skiing competition after Lauberhorn, with the second most esteemed ski trophy after the Lauberhorn race.

In first six years, before the competition moved to the current location, it was held in five different slopes: Fleckalm, Stickelberg, Pengelstein, Ehrenbachhöhe and Hahnenkamm.

Since 1937, the competition has been held on Streif and Ganslernhang, both famous downhill and slalom slopes, next to each other on Hahnenkamm in Kitzbühel Alps.

In 2017, the combined competition was abolished, and now everyone who wins one of the Hahnenkamm races is a Hahnenkamm winner. There are now three races, first the Kitzbühel Downhill on Friday followed by the traditional races on the weekend—Saturday's race the Hahnenkamm Downhill and Sunday's race the Hahnenkamm Slalom.[1]
