The women's downhill in the 2025 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup is scheduled to consist of eight events, including the final.^[1] After the elimination of the two downhills scheduled in November on the "Gran Becca" course on the Matterhorn from the 2025 schedule, the first race of the season in this discipline is now scheduled to take place on 14 December in Beaver Creek, Colorado, United States.

The season will be interrupted for the Alpine Skiing World Championships, this time in Saalbach, Austria during 4–16 February 2025.^[2] The championship in women's downhill is scheduled for Saturday, 8 February.

The first downhill of the 2025 season was held on the very steep Birds of Prey course at Beaver Creek, Colorado, United States, the first time the women World Cup racers had ever held a competitive event on the course (although the men have been running the course for decades), and defending discipline champion Cornelia Hütter of Austria (who commented, "”I've never skied that steep before.") edged past both Sofia Goggia of Italy, the four-time discipline champion in her first race back from a season-ending injury in February, and defending overall champion Lara Gut-Behrami of Switzerland.^[3] The next downhill, one month later in St Anton, Austria, produced several surprises: a victory by Federica Brignone, at 34 the oldest winner ever on the women's World Cup circuit, winning her 30th World Cup race . . . but her first downhill ever; a second place by rising Swiss star Malorie Blanc in her second-ever World Cup race; and a sixth place by 40-year-old Lindsey Vonn, an 8-time downhill discipline champion now returning to the circuit after six years in retirement and a complete knee replacement with titanium.^[4] Goggia returned to the winner's circle back in her home country in the next race at Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, with her countrywoman Brignone, who finished third, taking over both the lead in the discipline and the overall lead.^[5]

The World Cup finals in the discipline are scheduled to take place on Saturday, 22 March 2025 in Sun Valley, Idaho, United States.^[6] Only the top 25 skiers in the World Cup slalom discipline and the winner of the Junior World Championship in the discipline, plus any skiers who have scored at least 500 points in the World Cup overall classification for the season, are eligible to compete in the final, and only the top 15 earn World Cup points.
