The 2000 IIHF World Women's Championships Pool B were held between March 20–26, 2000 in the cities of Liepāja and Riga in Latvia. Kazakhstan won the tournament with an impressive performance winning all five of their matches. Additionally this advanced them to a qualification tournament for the Turin Olympics together with second place Switzerland, who narrowly edged out Norway for the privilege. Group 'B' changed its name to Division I following this season.

For the second year, a third tier tournament was played (called 2001 Pool B Qualification) in Székesfehérvár, Hungary.
