The 2004 IIHF World Women's Championships were held March 30-April 6, 2004 in Halifax and Dartmouth, Canada. The Canadian national women's hockey team won their eighth straight World Championships. The event had 9 teams, because the 2003 event was cancelled due to the SARS epidemic, therefore the winners of the 2002 and 2003 Division I tournaments qualified. Canada won their 37th consecutive World Championship game before losing three to one in their third game. They later avenged their loss to the USA by defeating them in the Gold Medal game two to zero. Sweden and Finland also met each other twice, with Finland winning the Bronze Medal game three to two improving on the earlier draw.
In addition to being the qualifications for the 2005 world tournaments, this year also finalized the qualification for the Torino Olympics.
