The Ball Hockey World Championship is a biannual ball (street) hockey competition for women's and men's national teams. The first championship was played in 1996 in Bratislava. The Ball Hockey World Championship is organized by ISBHF. The only medallists across the first five championships were Canada, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The first team to win a medal other than those three was Italy in 2005, when they won the bronze medal. Held biannually, the tournament has been played in odd-numbered years since its establishment, other than 1996–1998 and 2022–2026, when it was held in even-numbered years. The tournament will return to odd-numbered years in 2027.
The first women's world championships were played in 2005, located in Pittsburgh, PA. Canada have won six of the nine women's championships to date.
