The 2001 Canoe Slalom World Cup was a series of six races in 4 canoeing and kayaking categories organized by the International Canoe Federation (ICF). It was the 14th edition. The series consisted of 5 regular world cup races and the world cup final.
The winner of each world cup race was awarded 30 points. The world cup final points scale was multiplied by a factor of 1.5. That meant the winner of the world cup final earned 45 points. The points scale reached down to 1 point for 20th place in the men's K1, while in the other three categories only the top 15 received points (with 6 points for 15th place). Only the best three results of each athlete counted for the final world cup standings.
The first world cup race of the season took place in Goumois, France from 26 to 27 May.
The second world cup race of the season took place in Merano, Italy from 2 to 3 June.
