1999 Women's World Ice Hockey Championships Qualification
The 1999 IIHF Women's World Championship qualification process was contested between 10 teams competing for the three final places in the championships. The other seven teams would join Japan (the 6th Place team from the 1998 Olympic games), in the newly formed Pool B.
Teams
The following is the nations that competed, and the stage at which they entered the qualification process:
At Pre-Qualification (nations ranked 9th through 12th at the last European Championship)
At Final Qualification (nations ranked above 9th who did compete in the Nagano Olympics)
Format
The four teams in the Pre-Qualification group would play a single round robin, with the top two proceeding to the Final Qualification.
The eight teams in Final Qualification would be split into two groups of four, with the top two teams automatically qualifying for the World Championship, and a single match playoff at a neutral location to decide the final qualifier.
