The 2023 Women's Bandy World Championship (officially the 2023 Bandy World Championship) was played in Åby, a subdivision of Växjö City in Sweden between women's national bandy teams.[1][2] The competition took place from 28 March – 2 April 2023. This tournament also marked the Ukraine women's national bandy team's eventual world debut.[3] The Ukraine squad was earlier scheduled to participate in the 2022 Women's Bandy World Championship but was forced to withdraw due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

This world championship for women's international bandy marked a departure in the sport whereas in the past, organizers traditionally hosted the men's and women's international competitions separately, but this season saw both tournaments held at the same time and in the same venue.[4] The tournament will crown the world champions for the Women's Bandy World Championship and the men's Bandy World Championship.
