Through the 2015 World Cup, only five countries have taken the Roller Hockey World Cup: England winning two times, Portugal winning fifteen times, Spain winning sixteen times, Italy winning four times and Argentina winning five times.

Since the 2003 World Cup all events have been 16-team events, featuring a four group round-robin tournament with four teams in each group. The top two teams in each group advance to an eight team knockout final series.

Founded 1984

The FIRS Roller Hockey "B" World Championship was the second-tier level international championship for roller hockey organized by FIRS. The event was a 7 to 9-team event, featuring a two group round-robin tournament. The top four teams in each group advanced to an eight team knockout final series.

The tournament was held every two years, on the even years. The first event was held in 1984, in the city of Paris.

The first three-placed nations were granted an entry to next year's "A" World Championship and the last three-placed nations on the "A" tournament were relegated to the next year's "B" World Championship.
