During the previous edition of the World Cup, the FIRS determined to end with the celebration of two different tournaments for divisions A and B, and merged all competitions in a whole event integrated in the World Roller Games.[1] Despite this merge, teams were divided into two different competitions.[2]

For this tournament there would not be golden goals during the overtimes.

FIRS Cup
