Canada women's national bandy team

Canada's women's national bandy team (French: Équipe nationale féminine de bandy du Canada) is the women's bandy team representing Canada. Historically the squad has been based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The women's national team has competed in the Women's Bandy World Championship and North American Bandy Championship. It made its world debut at the 2004 Women's Bandy World Championship. Team Canada has not competed internationally since the 2016 Women's Bandy World Championship.

The governing body for the sport of bandy in Canada is Canada Bandy whose headquarters are located in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Canada also has a Canadian national bandy team for men. This article deals chiefly with Canada's women's national bandy team.

Because bandy is a "cult sport" in Canada without a grassroots base the team therefore draws its talent from the sports of ringette and women's ice hockey. A majority of its senior-level team members have been high performance athletes who come from the sport of ringette, some having played for Canada's national ringette team and/or in Canada's semi-professional showcase ringette league, the National Ringette League.

While Canada is a country with a strong tradition in ice hockey and ringette, both sports are played on an ice rink and Canada does not have artificial ice rinks large enough to qualify as regulation sized bandy fields. In the past, the Canadian women's bandy team practiced on a frozen water hazard on a Winnipeg golf course. Team Canada has competed in the United States where full-sized bandy fields exist.

The team has participated in every Women's Bandy World Championship since the second tournament in 2006 but has not competed since 2016. During its existence, the national women's bandy team reached a historic 4th place internationally in the 2007, 2010, 2012, and 2016 Women's Bandy World Championships, but to date has never finished higher, nor has the Canadian team ever medaled. It is unclear whether the women's national team is still active.

In the junior age group, a girls ice hockey team from Winnipeg competed in the Women's Under-18 Bandy World Cup in Sweden in 2015, the first ever Canadian youth team to play in the international tournament. However this was an international tournament for club teams only and not the international junior competition which is the Bandy World Championship G-17 or U17 (under 17) world championship in bandy for girls, known as F17 WC. G17 is sometimes written as F17 and the Y designations may also be written with a U.
