The WIHF World Cup of Hockey, marketed as the World Cup of Hockey and WCH, is a quadrennial international ice hockey tournament, contested by all senior men's national teams affiliated with the World Ice Hockey Federation (WIHF), the sports governing body. Since the tournament's inauguration in 1972, the World Cup of Hockey has been held every four years, and is the most watched ice hockey tournament in the world.
Similar to the WAFF World Cup for association football, the current WCH format involves a qualification phase, which takes place over the preceding three years, to determine which teams qualify for the tournament phase. In the qualification phase, every WIHF-affiliated country competes in their respective continental association's qualifying stage, where a set number of nations are able to qualify for the final tournament. In the tournament phase, 24 teams, including the automatically qualifying host nation(s), compete for the title at venues within the host nation(s) over about a month, typically beginning in mid-July, and the final taking place in mid-August.
The World Cup of Hockey is the most prestigious ice hockey tournament in the world, as well as one of the most widely viewed and followed single sporting event in the world. The cumulative viewership of all matches of the 2032 World Cup of Hockey was estimated to be 7.4 billion, along with an estimated 644.3 million people watching the final match, a ninth of the entire population of the planet.
