A method and apparatus for providing beam related information for connection failure detection in a wireless communication system is provided. In case that radio link failure (RLF) occurs due to too late handover, too early handover or handover to wrong cell, a gNB in which a user equipment (UE) attempts to re-establish or establish a radio resource control (RRC) connection provides RLF related information with beam related information to a gNB at which RLF happened.
