2011 Women's World Ice Hockey Championships – Division IV
The following teams took part in the Division IV tournament which was held in Reykjavík, Iceland, from March 29 to April 4.[1] The winner of the group, New Zealand, was promoted to Division III for the 2012 championships (renamed Division IIA). Initially the tournament was to include Estonia,[2] however the IIHF provide no reason for their absence and did not replace them. Despite having only five teams the last-placed team in the group, South Africa was temporarily relegated to Division V (renamed Division IIB Qualification).[3] The number of entrants shrank so South Africa was able to remain at this level.
