List of IIHF Women's World Championship Directorate award winners

The International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) Women's World Championship is contested annually in non-Olympic years.

The "top division" consists of the nine highest ranked countries.

It became an annual event (except in Olympic years), starting in 1997.

After each event, the IIHF has handed out awards to the top participants.

These members vote on the awards, which are presented after the gold medal game of the tournament.

Canadian Hayley Wickenheiser has been named the top forward twice and most valuable player once at the Women's World Championships.
