These are the results of the 1977 IAAF World Cup, an international track and field sporting event sponsored by the International Association of Athletics Federations, held on 2–4 September 1977 at the Rheinstadion in Düsseldorf, West Germany.

The World Cup was contested by 309 athletes from 54 countries, and the winning teams were East Germany (men) and Europe (women).[1]

  • In men's events five teams represented continents (Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe, Oceania) and the remaining three were three national teams (East Germany, West Germany and the United States).
  • In women's events West Germany team was replaced by Soviet Union

In each event athletes won points for their team, with 9 points won by gold medal winners, 7 points for silver medalists, six for bronze, and so on all the way to a single point for eighth-place finishers.[2]
