The 2012 World Junior Ringette Championships, (2012 WJRC) also known as the U19 2012 World Championships, was an international ringette tournament and the 2nd edition of the World Junior Ringette Championships organized by the International Ringette Federation (IRF). It was contested in London, Ontario, Canada, between December 29, 2012, and January 3, 2013.[where?][1] The junior tournament was organized exclusively for elite junior national ringette teams. Venues included the Western Fair Sports Centre.[2] This was the last year the event was held separately from the World Ringette Championships. Afterwards a new U19 division was created at the 2013 World Ringette Championships and the junior tournament merged with the larger international program.

Video of the games were produced as webcasts by SportsCanada.TV, Canada's largest online amateur sports network. David Singh was the head coach for Team France and was also the head coach for the National Ringette League team, the Lac St. Louis Adrenaline for the 2012-13 season.[1]

This tournament was the first and last time France and Russia would send national teams to compete at the international level with neither country having sent a national team to compete in either the senior or junior level since.
