Nordic combined at the 1956 Winter Olympics consisted of one event, held from 29 January——to 31 January. The ski jumping portion took place at Trampolino Olimpico, while the cross-country portion took place at Lo Stadio della neve.
Standings were determined by the "combined length of 3 jumps per entrant." And combined style points (best 2 out of 3), awarded by a pool of 5 international judges. The cross-country course had a vertical drop of 185 m (607 ft), a maximum climb of 150 m (490 ft) and a 420 m (1,380 ft) total climb.
