Division I 12–18 December 2011

The 2012 World Junior Ice Hockey Championship Division I was a pair of international ice hockey tournaments organized by the International Ice Hockey Federation. In 2012, a new format was introduced to the IIHF World Junior Championships, making Division I A and Division I B now represent the second and third tiers of the IIHF World Junior Championship. Division I was played in two groups of six teams each. In each group, the first-place team was promoted to a higher division, while the last-place team was relegated to a lower division. That year, for the first time, the winner of Group B was promoted to Group A, and the winner of Group A advanced to the following year's Top Division. Previously, the winners of both groups were promoted directly to the Top Division.
