It is distinct from the Bandy World Cup Women which is a women's club competition, the Bandy World Cup which is a club competition for men, and from the Bandy World Championship which is the premier international bandy competition for men's teams.

A Youth Bandy World Championship also exists separately from the women's senior competition and has competitions in both the male and female categories, with the F17 WC tournament representing the youth World Championship in bandy for girls up to 17 years of age.

Although the sport of bandy has been played by both men and women since the 19th century, the first men's world championship didn't take place until 1957, and the first official women's international bandy tournament only began in 2004. However, an international match between women's bandy teams from Sweden and Finland took place in Helsinki, Finland in 1935 at the Helsingfors Ice Stadium, where a portion of the match was captured by British Pathé. The archival short film was uploaded and published on the video sharing site, Youtube, on April 13, 2014.[1]

Bandy World Championship G-17
Main article: Bandy World Championship G-17

The Bandy World Championship G-17 or U17 (under 17) world championship in bandy for women, known as F17 WC and U17-världsmästerskapet i bandy för damer in Sweden, is the youth world championship in bandy for girls up to 17 years of age. The competition is held separately from the World Bandy Women's Championship which is for adults. G17 is sometimes written as F17 and the Y designations may also be written with a U.

The Youth Bandy World Championship is a tournament for girls' teams up to the age of 17 years. FC 17 is the only age group for which the world championship in bandy for young female players is held. The first tournament was held in 2009 and has since been held every two years.

Normally only teams from the main bandy countries of Finland, Norway, Russia and Sweden participate, but the USA has participated a few times and at the tournament in Irkutsk 2017, a China U17 team made its debut.[11]
