IIHF World Championship Division II

IIHF World Championship Division II

The IIHF World Championship Division II are an annual sports event organized by the International Ice Hockey Federation. The division championships are played in two groups.

The two national teams that finish last in their groups at the Division I are relegated to Division II for next year's World Championships. At the Division II Championship, the winner of each group is promoted to next year's Division I, while the loser of each group is relegated to the IIHF World Championship Division III.

The Division II World championships have been played in their current format since 2001, when Division II was formed from the five lowest-placing teams in Pool C, and the seven best teams from Pool D.

The 2009 IIHF World Championship Division II will be played between April 9 and April 15 2009 simultaneously in Novi Sad, Serbia (Group A) and Sofia, Bulgaria (Group B).
