There used to be a team England in international bandy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but when Britain eventually came back to the sport, it was decided to do it under the name Great Britain.

Early international games were played against the Netherlands, Germany and France.

The societal upheavals due to World War I then ended the interest for bandy in Britain.

The Bandy Federation of England joined the Federation of International Bandy in 2010 and England aimed to play in the World Championships in the coming years.

The Great Britain national bandy team made its debut at the 2019 Bandy World Championship in Sweden and managed to become runners-up in the B Division in its début championship tournament,[3] but could not attend the 2020 World Championship in Russia due to problems getting visas for the players.
