The 1957 Bandy World Championship was contested among three men's bandy playing nations and was the first ever Bandy World Championship. Norway declined to take part due to the Soviet invasion of Hungary the year before.
The championship was played in Finland from 28 February to 3 March 1957. The Soviet Union became champions.[1][2][3]
