# 2011 IIHF Women's World Championship Division IV

The 2011 IIHF Women's World Championship Division IV was an international ice hockey tournament organized by the International Ice Hockey Federation. It was played in Reykjavík, Iceland, from 29 March to 4 April 2011. Division IV represented the fifth tier of the IIHF Women's World Championship.
The winner of this tournament, New Zealand, was promoted to Division III (renamed II A) for the 2012 championships. Initially, the tournament was to include Estonia, however the IIHF provide no reason for their absence and did not replace them. Despite having only five teams, the last-placed team in the group, South Africa, was temporarily relegated to Division V (renamed Division II B Qualification). The number of next year's entrants shrank so South Africa was able to remain at this level.
