The Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, established in 2009 and created by Red Bull, is an annual international series of cliff diving events in which a limited number of competitors determine the Cliff Diving World Series winner.
Divers jump from a platform at a height ranging from 26 to 28 m (85–92 ft). Competitions are held in a limited number of venues around the globe.
The Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series men’s competition started in 2009. The women’s competition began in 2014.[1] The competition season takes place over eight locations around the world.[2] Since 2020, there have been an equal number of male and female competitors.[3]
Every athlete scores a number of points in every competition as distributed here:
In 2012 the Series introduced a new point system that was continued to be used also during the 2013 season.[4]
