1968 World Orienteering Championships

The 2nd World Orienteering Championships were held in Linköping, Sweden, 28–29 September 1968.

The championships had four events; individual contests for men and women, and relays for men and women.

The men's individual course had 18 controls over 14.6 kilometres, while the women's individual course had 10 controls over 7.8 kilometres.

Swedish Television (SVT) broadcast the entire individual competition live. This was the first time ever orienteering was shown live on TV in Sweden, or in any other country in the world.
