The 2023 World Ringette Championships will feature teams from Team Canada and Team Finland who will compete in the national Junior U-21 Pool and the new U-18 Development tournament. As part of the competition, the President's Pool will include Team Sweden Senior, Team Czechia Senior, and the Team USA Senior which are considered developing ringette nations.
The IRF postponed the Senior Pool a.k.a. The Sam Jacks Series, until the 2025 World Ringette Championships. Therefore the general format for the world competition was changed: The U18 International Development Festival (Under-18), the U21 Junior Pool (Under-21), and a separate President's Pool for developing ringette nations.
