history
The Hungarian national ice hockey team for women first took part in a women's world championship in 1999 . In their first World Cup participation, the team failed to qualify for the B World Championship and then relegated twice in a row, so that they only entered Division III, the fourth level of the Women's World Championships, at the 2003 World Cup. In the following years the Hungarians always occupied one of the lower places in their division, but were able to avoid further relegation. During the 2002 Olympic year, Hungary played in the IIHF World Women's Challenge , finishing fourth and last in Division I.
Since divisions III to V were not played at the 2009 World Cup and in 2010 there was no women's World Cup anyway due to the Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver , Hungary played a World Cup game again in 2011 for the first time in three years and continued to play in Division III . After the reform of the group division, Hungary played in Division II, Group A from 2012, from which it rose in 2013. This was followed by three tournaments in Group B of Division I, before being promoted to (second-class) Group A in 2016.
