History

From 1990–2010 the World Ringette Championships had only one division in which all national teams could compete; the international ringette competition consisted entirely of adults and young adults. The Americans competed against Canadian and Finnish players during that period, and also in a separate division known as the "President's Pool" beginning in 2013. There was an exception in 2016 wherein the senior team competed in both the senior and the junior pools. While a junior division was added to the WRC program in 2013 (U19), Team USA does not have a junior national team and therefore does not compete. ==World championship record==
