2000 IIHF World Championship

The 2000 IIHF World Championship was held in Saint Petersburg, Russia from 29 April to 14 May.

This was the final year for qualifying rounds (except 'Far East'). Five teams advanced out of the eight that participated in the two European groups. The top two from each group played in the World Championship, and the third place teams played off against each other for the final spot. Both groups were played 11–14 November 1999.

Played in Sheffield

Played in Amiens

Played in Eindhoven

Played 3–5 September 1999 in Aomori.

Like the previous two years, sixteen nations played in four groups of four. However this year the format was modified so that the top three teams from each group would advance to a group of six, carrying forward the results against the teams who advanced with them. The nations from the first and fourth pools were grouped together, likewise the second and third pools. The fourth placed teams were put in a group together to contest relegation.

The relegation round is composed of the four teams that placed last in Groups A through D. They play in a round-robin fashion, with the last placed team that is not the far east qualifier, being relegated to the Division I group in next year's World Championships.
