The 1979 [[Ice Hockey World Championships]] took place at the [[Luzhniki Palace of Sports|Palace of Sports]] of the [[Luzhniki Stadium|Central Lenin Stadium]] in [[Moscow]], [[Soviet Union]] from 14 to 27 April. Eight teams took part, with the first round split into two groups of four, and the best two from each group advancing to the final group. The four best teams then played each other twice in the final round. This was the 46th World Championship and at the same time, the 57th [[IIHF European Championships|European Championship]]. In the May 1978 congress many rules were aligned with NHL practices and archaic rules (like changing ends half way the third period) were finally officially abandoned.<ref name=Duplacey>Duplacey 506</ref> The games were very well attended, setting a record by averaging over eleven thousand spectators per game.

The Soviets wished the tournament to be finished before the May Day celebrations began, so the schedule was moved up one week allowing for less NHL players being eligible.<ref name=Duplacey/> The hosts won all seven games they played capturing their 16th title, the only game that was even close was their early match with West Germany, which they won three to two. The competition for the bronze (at least) was tight with Sweden edging out the Canadians. After the tournament NHL star Marcel Dionne praised the level of play and offered the following criticism of North American play, "only the media can change things here. Tell them how the European teams play with so much talent. Tell them that they play without a fight. Let them realize that if a kid does not know how to skate and shoot, but just to fight, he should not be allowed to be a hockey player. There are so many idiots who run hockey, so stupid, so stupid. Tell them."<ref>[http://www.passionhockey.com/hockeyarchives/mondial1979.htm Marcel Dionne's quote (translated from French)]</ref>

Promotion and relegation was effective for 1981 as the [[IIHF]] ceased running a championship in Olympic years. Nations that did not participate in the [[1980 Winter Olympics|Lake Placid Olympics]] were invited to compete in the inaugural [[Thayer Tutt Trophy]].

==World Championship Group B (Romania)==
Played in [[Galati]] March 16–24. This year's tournament was expanded to ten teams to try to avoid hostilities between China and South Korea. China and Denmark were both elevated with the consequence that four teams would be relegated.

===First round===
The ten teams were split into groups of five, the top two of each battled for promotion to Group A, the next two played in a group to decide fifth through eighth, and both bottom place teams were simply relegated without playing further. Additionally, the top two in each group joined all Group A teams at the [[1980 Winter Olympics|Lake Placid Olympics]].

==World Championship Group C (Spain)==
Played in [[Barcelona]] March 16–25. This tournament was supposed to be played in [[China]] but the Chinese said that they would deny entrance to the South Korean team. To avoid political issues with the two playing each other, both China and Denmark (last year's 3rd and 4th place teams) were elevated to Group B and two extra nations were allowed to participate in Group C.<ref>[http://www.passionhockey.com/hockeyarchives/mondial1979.htm Summary of conflict]</ref>
