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 current leader in rankings is [[Canada]] in both men's and women's play.
==Description==
The system was approved at the IIHF congress of September 2003.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.hockeycanada.ca/en-ca/news/2003-gn-012-en |title=IIHF Introduces World Ranking and Ranks Canada First in Men's and Women's Hockey |date=30 September 2003 |author=Hockey Canada |access-date=27 May 2019}}</ref> According to former 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".<ref>{{cite journal |editor=Edvinsson, Jan-Ake |title=News release–Hockey fans are the best in the world |publisher=International Ice Hockey Federation |date=November 2003 |volume=7 |issue=5 |url=http://webarchive.iihf.com/fileadmin/user_upload/PDF/The_IIHF/IIHF_Vol7No5.pdf |page=7| access-date=27 May 2019 |journal=Ice Times}}</ref>
The ranking is used to determine the seeding of the teams for the next World Championship and to select the teams which can participate in Winter Olympics without playing in the qualifying round. For example, for the [[2022 Winter Olympics]], the first eight teams of the Men's World Ranking and the first six of the Women's World Ranking were pre-qualified. Qualification for the men's tournament at the [[2022 Winter Olympics]] was structured around the 2019 ranking. Twelve spots were made available for teams. The top eight teams in the World Ranking after the [[2019 Men's Ice Hockey World Championships|2019 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships]] received automatic berths into the Ice Hockey event. All IIHF teams had an opportunity to [[Ice hockey at the 2022 Winter Olympics – Men's qualification|qualify]] for the event. Teams that wished to participate ranked below 36th played in two preliminary qualifications in November 2019. The two winners of the first preliminaries and teams ranked 27–36th were divided in three groups to play in the second pre-qualification round in December 2019. The three winners of those preliminaries joined teams ranked 18–26th for the third pre-qualification round of three groups in February 2020. The winner of each of these pre-qualification groups and teams ranked 9–17 were divided in three groups to play in the final qualification in August 2021. The winner of each group then joined the eight top-ranked teams plus the host in the Olympics in 2022.
The women's tournament uses a similar qualification format. The top six teams in the IIHF Women's World Ranking after the [[2020 IIHF Women's World Championship]] received automatic berths into the ice hockey event. Lower ranked teams had an opportunity to [[Ice hockey at the 2022 Winter Olympics – Women's qualification|qualify]] for the event. Teams ranked 16th and below were divided into three groups where they played in a preliminary qualification round in the October 2021. The three group winners from the round advanced to the final qualification round, where the teams ranked seventh through fifteenth joined them.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Olympic Winter Games |url=http://webarchive.iihf.com/sk/home-of-hockey/championships/olympics.html |publisher=International Ice Hockey Federation |access-date=27 May 2019 |archive-date=27 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190527214123/http://webarchive.iihf.com/sk/home-of-hockey/championships/olympics.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>
===Formula===
The world ranking is based on the final positions of the last four [[Ice Hockey World Championships|Men's]] or [[IIHF World Women's Championships|Women's]] IIHF World Championships and last [[Ice hockey at the Olympic Games|Olympic ice hockey tournament]]. Points are assigned according to a team's final placement in the World Championship or the Olympic tournament. The world champion receives 1600 points and then a 20-point interval is used between teams. However, a 40-point interval is used between gold and silver, silver and bronze, fourth and fifth, and eighth and ninth. This is used as a bonus for the teams who reach the quarter-finals, the semi-finals, the final and for winning the gold medal.<ref name="iihf2021"/> Prior to 2023, the world champion received 1200 points, with other teams receiving the same point interval decreases.

Points awarded in the current year are valued at the full amount. Points award in the prior years decline linearly by 25% until the fifth year when they are dropped from the calculation. Under this formula, any year with a World Championship and an Olympics will be counted twice in the tables{{efn|From April 2014 to August 2022, Women's rankings counted  Olympics points twice, to be on same formula as Men's rankings, as no Women's top division World Championship was held in Olympic years.

For example, if after the 2026 Championship a team had won the gold medal in the last four championships and the last Olympic tournament, their score would be 5600:{{efn|Due to the point value change from 2023, tournaments from 2020-2022 will still use the 1200 point values in the formula.}}

The Men's 2024 ranking is based on the performance at the [[Ice Hockey World Championships|World Championships]] of [[2024 Men's Ice Hockey World Championships|2024]], [[2023 Men's Ice Hockey World Championships|2023]], [[2022 Men's Ice Hockey World Championships|2022]], and [[2021 Men's Ice Hockey World Championships|2021]], and at the [[Ice hockey at the Olympic Games|Olympic Ice Hockey tournament]] of [[Ice hockey at the 2022 Winter Olympics – Men's tournament|2022]].
All tournaments in 2020 were cancelled due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]. As a result, teams were awarded points based on their seeding for their respective tournaments. The [[2020 IIHF World Championship|Championship division]] received points based on the 2019 World Ranking, while the remaining divisions received points based on the previous year's results. For a fairer ranking and point distribution, the IIHF Council decided that the points for 2021 in case of tournament cancellations are given according to the ranking position of each team in the 2021 Pre-Championship Report – taking into consideration the results in 2018, 2019 and 2020 – rather than by seeding as in the past.<ref name="2021 Points">{{cite web |title=IIHF – Groups for 2022 |url=https://www.iihf.com/en/events/2021/wm/news/26366/groups_for_2022 |access-date=7 June 2021 |website=iihf.com |publisher=IIHF}}</ref>

Russia and Belarus were expelled from competing in the 2022 and 2023 World Championships because of their invasion of Ukraine. They were, however, granted the points of the positions they would have been seeded based on their 2021 ranking: in 2022, Russia in third place received 1120 points, and Belarus in 14th place received 860 points. Several nations withdrew from the 2022 World Championships over COVID-19 concerns. These nations similarly received the points of the positions they would have been seeded within their respective tournaments: Australia as second place in IIA received 560 points, New Zealand as third place in IIB received 440 points, North Korea as first place in IIIA received 360 points, Hong Kong as second place in IIIB received 220 points, and the Philippines as fourth place in IV received 100 points. <ref>{{cite web|title= Finland Stays #1 in World Ranking |url=https://www.iihf.com/en/events/2022/wm/news/36618/finland_stays_1_in_world_ranking |access-date=30 May 2022 |website=iihf.com |publisher=IIHF}}</ref>

The depreciated percentages are shown in the column headings, first for the current total, then for the new total. The "Total" columns are the sums of the current tournament points and the depreciated values for past tournaments. The "+/–" columns indicate the increase or decrease in ranking since the last tournament. A dash in a tournament column indicates that the country did not participate.

==Women's rankings==
{{see also|List of IIHF World Rankings}}
The Women's 2024 ranking is based on the performance at the [[IIHF World Women's Championships|World Championships]] of [[2024 IIHF Women's World Championship|2024]], [[2023 IIHF Women's World Championship|2023]], [[2022 IIHF Women's World Championship|2022]], and [[2021 Women's Ice Hockey World Championships|2021]], and at the [[Ice hockey at the Olympic Games|Olympic Ice Hockey tournament]] of [[Ice hockey at the 2022 Winter Olympics – Women's tournament|2022]].
Most of the tournaments in 2020 and 2021 were cancelled due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]. As a result, teams were awarded points based on their seeding for their respective tournaments. The [[2020 IIHF Women's World Championship|Championship division]] received points based on the previous year's ranking, while Divisions [[2020 IIHF Women's World Championship Division I|IA, IB]], and [[2020 IIHF Women's World Championship Division II|IIA]] received points based on the previous year's results. Divisions IIB and [[2020 IIHF Women's World Championship Division III|III]] were completed and scored as scheduled in 2020.
For the 2022 Winter Olympics, Russia was still under a 2019 ban by the [[World Anti-Doping Agency]] (WADA) because of that country's [[Doping in Russia|state-sponsored doping scheme]].<ref name="Russia Olympic Ban"/> On 19 February 2021, the [[International Olympic Committee]] announced that individual athletes from Russia, who had consistently passed ongoing anti-doping tests, could compete under the acronym "ROC" (the full name "[[Russian Olympic Committee]]" could not be displayed), and that the flag of the Russian Olympic Committee would be used for the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]-delayed [[2020 Summer Olympics]] and the unchanged 2022 Winter Olympics.<ref name=ROC/>
The following table lists the ranking following the [[2024 Women's Ice Hockey World Championships]].<ref name=":0" /> <!--and the calculations of the rankings following the  [[2024 Women's Ice Hockey World Championships]]. Scores in ''italics'' represent minimum possible scores for unfinished tournaments.--> All tournament's points have their full value displayed, while the ranking is calculated by adding the current year's tournament points to the depreciated previous three years' tournament points as explained above. The depreciated percentages are shown in the column headings, first for the current total, then for the new total. The "Total" columns are the sums of the current tournament points and the depreciated values for past tournaments. The "+/–" columns indicate the increase or decrease in ranking since the last tournament. A dash in a tournament column indicates that the country did not participate.
