The '''IIHF World Championship Division I''' is an annual sports event organized by the [[International Ice Hockey Federation]]. The divisional championship is played in two groups.

From 2001 until 2011 the two national teams that lost the relegation round at the [[Ice Hockey World Championships|IIHF World Championship]] were relegated to Division I for the following year's World Championships. At the Division I Championship, the winner of each group was promoted to the following year's IIHF World Championship, while the loser of each group was relegated to the [[IIHF World Championship Division II|Division II]]. Beginning in 2012, the last place team from each group in the world championship is relegated to Division I A, to be replaced by first and second place in Division I A. Sixth place in I A is relegated (now) to group I B, replaced by its winner, while sixth in I B is relegated to Division II.

The Division I World Championship was formed in 2001 from Pool B and the top four Pool C teams. Beginning in 2012 the two groups became tiered rather than parallel. Group A teams were the nations who either were relegated from the World Championship, or placed 2nd and 3rd in their 2011 groups. Group B was formed from the 4th and 5th placed teams, as well as the teams promoted from Division II. Japan qualified for group A because the IIHF council voted unanimously to allow Japan to maintain their seeded position (3rd) in their respective tournaments for 2012.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iihf.com/home-of-hockey/news/news-singleview/article/japan-withdraws-from-events.html?tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=955&cHash=101cca24bd|title=Japan withdraws from events|author=IIHF|date=2011-03-29|publisher=IIHF.com|accessdate=2011-03-30}}</ref>
