History edit

Roller Hockey has a Women's Championship which has taken place every two years since 1992 until 2017, when the FIRS agreed to integrate the championship into the World Roller Games. It is now organized by the World Skate.

The first edition, played in 1992, was played with the traditional quads except for the Canadian team, who wore inline skates.

Due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, World Skate banned Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials from its competitions, and will not stage any events in Russia or Belarus in 2022.[1]
