The 2025 IIHF Women's World Championship was the 24th edition of the IIHF Women's World Championship, an international ice hockey tournament organized by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), contested in České Budějovice, Czech Republic from 9 to 20 April 2025 at the Budvar Arena.[1][2]

The United States won their eleventh title, after a 4–3 overtime win in the final against Canada.[3]

Participants

Format

The top five teams from the previous tournament were placed in Group A and the teams that finished sixth through eighth in the 2024 tournament, plus two teams promoted from 2024 Division IA, were placed in Group B. All of the teams in Group A and the top three teams from Group B continued to the knockout phase, while the bottom two teams from Group B were relegated. During the knockout stage, there was a re-seeding after the quarterfinals.[4]

Marketing

The mascot was a superhero named Tori, whose name was chosen in an audience poll.[5] The motto was "Hrdinky přicházejí" (marketed in English as "Heroes Incoming", but more precisely translated as "Heroines Incoming"). With 122,331 total spectators, the tournament broke the world championship attendance record previously held by the 2007 edition in Canada.[6]
