The 36th World Orienteering Championships were held in Østfold, Norway in August 2019.

The competitions consisted of middle distance, long distance and relay, for women and men, respectively. Both individual women’s competitions were won by Sweden’s Tove Alexandersson, while Norway’s Olav Lundanes won both the long and middle distances for men. Sweden won the women’s relay ahead of Switzerland and Russia. Sweden also won the men’s relay, ahead of Finland and France.

Competition format

From 2019 the world championships are split in two (forest and park), each being held every second year. The 2019 edition is a pure "forest" format. The competitions are the middle and long distances, and relay.[1]
