The IIHF Asia Cup (formerly IIHF Challenge Cup of Asia, IIHF Asia and Oceania Championship, or Asia and Oceania Cup) are a series of international ice hockey tournaments. The purpose of the tournament is to provide competitive opportunities for Asia and Oceania teams, especially those in the lowest division of the IIHF World Championships, or the IIHF Development Cup. The first edition was held in Hong Kong from 24 to 26 April 2008, with the second edition held a year later in the United Arab Emirates. The third edition took place from 29 March to 4 April 2010 in the Republic of China.
The first women's tournament took place in Shanghai, China from 10 to 14 April 2010, and the first University Challenge Cup of Asia took place in Goyang-Si, Seoul, South Korea from 12 to 14 May 2010. Junior (under-20) and under-18 editions were introduced in 2012. On 31 January 2020, the women's and men's under-20 tournaments were cancelled, except the men's tournament, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The competition was renamed to the IIHF Asia and Oceania Championship starting with the 2022 season.
