The 2023 World Ringette Championships (2023 WRC) was an international ringette tournament, the 15th (XV) World Ringette Championships, and was contested in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, from October 29 to November 4, 2023.[2] The host venue for the event was the Canada Olympic Park (COP), WinSport Event Centre.[1] It marked the 60th anniversary of the sport of ringette which was invented in 1963. The tournament was organized by the International Ringette Federation (IRF).
The 2023 World Ringette Championships featured teams from Team Canada and Team Finland who will compete in the national Junior U-21 Pool and the new U-18 Development tournament. As part of the competition, the President's Pool will include Team Sweden Senior, Team Czechia Senior, and the Team USA Senior which are considered developing ringette nations.
The IRF postponed the Senior Pool a.k.a. The Sam Jacks Series, until the 2025 World Ringette Championships. Therefore the general format for the world competition was changed: The U18 International Development Festival (Under-18), the U21 Junior Pool (Under-21), and a separate President's Pool for developing ringette nations.[2]
