The 2021 Women's World Ice Hockey Championships is the 22nd such event hosted by the International Ice Hockey Federation. Originally scheduled to comprise six tournaments across four divisions, the event was significantly curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On 18 November 2020, the IIHF announced the cancellation of the Divisions I, II and III tournaments at the recommendation of the IIHF COVID-19 Expert Group.[1] Only the Top Division tournament was maintained, bringing the number of participating nations from 42 to ten. With only one tournament expected to be held, the standard system of promotion and relegation between divisions and groups will not be implemented and each team will remain in the tournament pool designated for the 2021 event at the 2022 championships.
