Notes

To qualify directly, a nation had to be ranked in the top five following the 2016 IIHF Women's World Championship.[1] Using the IIHF World Ranking points system, the 2016 received full value, and each preceding year was worth 25% less. Teams that wished to compete must apply in "early spring of 2016".[5] The following is a ranking based on points accumulated toward Olympic qualification of all countries.

Points were earned based on overall finish, available points for 2016 were as follows:
