Bandy World Championship for men

The Bandy World Championship is a competition between bandy-playing nations. The tournament is administered by the Federation of International Bandy.

Bandy has been played since the 19th century, but the first world championship for men were only played in 1957, and the first world championship for women were only played in 2004.
