The 2022 Women's World Challenge (or for sponsorship reasons, the 2022 Women's World Challenge presented by Citi) was the inaugural edition of this Para Ice Hockey world competition made for women's teams. This tournament acts as a precursor for a fully fledged Women's World Championship in 2025.[1] The tournament was held in Green Bay, Wisconsin in the United States. United States won the tournament after beating Canada, 5–1, in the Gold Medal match.[2] While Team World defeated Great Britain 7–0 to secure bronze.
