The 2022 IIHF Women's World Championship Division I consisted of two international ice hockey tournaments of the 2022 Women's Ice Hockey World Championships organized by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF).[1] Division I A and Division I B represent the second and third tier of the IIHF World Women's Championship.
All divisions stayed put after all events last year were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
France won Group A and were promoted to the Top Division, while China got promoted after winning the Group B tournament.[3][4] Due to Russia's exclusion, no team was relegated this season.

The Division I Group A tournament was played in Angers, France, from 24 to 30 April 2022.[5][6]
