The 2019 World Para Ice Hockey Championships was the 10th edition of World Para Ice Hockey Championships (previously known as the IPC Ice Sledge Hockey World Championships) held in 2019. The championships were divided into three tournaments.
The main event (Tournament A) was hosted by Ostrava, Czech Republic. The first matches were played on April 27 and the championships concluded with the final game played on May 4. It was the second time Ostrava World Para Ice Hockey Championships, as Ostrava hosted the Championships 10 years ago in 2009. The tournament achieved a record number of spectators, as their total number reached 65,000. It also broke the spectator record for a single game as the semifinal of hosting team against United States and bronze medal match against South Korea saw 8,600 spectators each, both surpassing the record from 2002 Winter Paralympics in Salt Lake City.
Tournament B was held in Berlin, Germany from November 17 to 22.
Tournament C was held in Vierumäki, Finland, from November 6 to 8, 2018, with three teams competing: Australia, China, and Finland.
Format In Tournament A the contestants were divided into two groups based on their ranking. The top two teams from Group A advanced directly into semi-finals while the remaining two teams together with the best two teams from Group B advanced to quarter-finals. Remaining two teams from Group B were relegated to B-Pool for the following championships.
Tournament B was played in a round-robin where every team played a match with every other team. The top two teams then advanced to A-Pool for championships in 2021 while the last team was relegated to 2020 C-Pool.
