Notes

a After talks in Panmunjom on 17 January 2018, a unified Korean team consisting of players from both North Korea and South Korea was created to compete at the 2018 Winter Olympics.[3]. b The 2016 IIHF World Ranking includes the following events: 2013 World Championship, 2014 Winter Olympic Games, 2014 World Championship, 2015 World Championship and 2016 World Championship. c Kamloops was the site for 2016 IIHF Women's World Championship; at the conclusion of the tournament the ranking was finalized with regards to the qualification slots. d In December 2017, the International Olympic Committee|IOC suspended Russia from competing at the Winter Olympics as part of its sanctions following state-sponsored doping allegations. Russian athletes deemed clean were permitted to compete as Olympic Athletes from Russia.[4]

Teams that wished to compete must apply in "early spring of 2016".[5] The following is a ranking based on points accumulated toward Olympic qualification of all countries.

Points were earned based on overall finish, available points for 2016 were as follows:
