The 2018 World Junior Ice Hockey Championship Division II consisted of two tiered groups of six teams each: the fourth-tier Division II A and the fifth-tier Division II B. For each tier, the team which placed first was promoted to the next highest division, while the team which placed last was relegated to a lower division.
