This is a list of IIHF World Rankings from its inception in 2003. The IIHF World Ranking is a ranking of the performance of the national ice hockey teams of member countries of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF). It is based on a formula giving points for each team's placings at IIHF-sanctioned tournaments over the previous four years. The ranking is used to determine seedings and qualification requirements for future IIHF tournaments.
The system was approved at the IIHF congress of September 2003.[1] According to IIHF President René Fasel, the system was designed to be simple to understand and "reflect the long-term quality of all national hockey programs and their commitment to international hockey."[2]

Women's
Graph of the evolution of the top ten women's nations (2003-2018 Olympics)
Only six nations have achieved a top ten ranking every time between 2003–2018. These nations are (in order of average ranking): Canada, the United States, Finland, Sweden, Russia, and Switzerland. An additional nine nations, Germany (sixteen times), Japan (fifteen times), Kazakhstan (ten times), China (nine times), Czech Republic (seven times), Slovakia (five times), Norway (twice), Denmark (twice), and Austria (twice) have been in the top ten at least once. Canada (eleven times) and United States (six times) are the only countries to have accomplished a first-place ranking as well as the only two to achieve a top two ranking every time.
In December 2017, six Russian women hockey players were found to have committed doping violations at the 2014 Winter Olympics. The IOC disqualified the Russian team from the 2014 hockey tournament and the IIHF was requested to modify the results accordingly.[3] The information in this historical section does not reflect any changes that the IIHF may make in the record.
