The 2019 IIHF Women's World Championship was an international Ice hockey tournament run by the International Ice Hockey Federation. It was contested in Espoo, Finland from 4 to 14 April 2019 at the Espoo Metro Areena.[2][3][4]

The United States won their fifth consecutive and ninth overall title after a shootout win over Finland.[5] Canada claimed the bronze medal by defeating Russia 7–0.[6]

After the 2017 tournament, it was announced that tournament would expand to ten teams for 2019, having been played with eight teams since the first tournament in

SARS disease.[4] Two teams were relegated from the top division in 2004, going back to eight teams for 2005, but due to the success of the 9-team pool in 2004, IIHF decided to expand again to nine teams for 2007.[7] Reverting to eight teams after the 2009 tournament.[8] To bring the tournament to ten teams, Czech Republic which had lost the 2017 Relegation Round, stayed in the top division. Joined by Division I Group A Champions, Japan (2017) and France (2018

Controversy

During the final between the United States and Finland, it appeared Finland had won 2–1 in overtime after a game-winning goal to win its first World Championship.[12] However, Finland celebrated on the ice before the Video Goal Judge initiated a video review. The goal was reviewed for over ten minutes and eventually overturned. The IIHF released a press statement the next day citing rules 186 and 183ii as the reasons for overturning the goal.[13] The United States went on to defeat Finland 2–1 in shootout. It was later announced that Finnish Ice Hockey Association would pay the Finnish team the bonus allotted for winning a gold medal, instead of the silver medal bonus.[14]

Subsequently, Sweden were supposed to play in the 2022 Division I A, but in the end they remained in the Top Division as a substitute for the expelled Russia.
