Sweden is the reigning champion and the most successful team, with eleven titles.

The only other medalists are the Czech Republic and Norway, each with two bronze medals.

The most recent Women's World Championship in 2023 was held in Singapore, and the next one will take place in 2025 in the Czech Republic.

These qualifiers, typically comprising several European tournaments and one each for the Americas and Asia-Oceania, are held about a year before the championship.

The top two teams from Groups A and B advance directly to the quarter-finals.
