This article lists the performances of each of the 56 [[List of national ice hockey teams|national teams]] which have made at least one appearance in the [[Ice Hockey World Championships]], an annual international men's [[ice hockey]] tournament organized by the [[International Ice Hockey Federation]] (IIHF), including the [[Ice hockey at the Olympic Games|Olympic ice hockey tournament]] was also considered the World Championship for that year, and was held before the first Ice Hockey World Championship as an individual event in 1930. With the exception between 1940 and 1946, when no championships were held due to the [[World War II]], nor were held during the Olympic years 1980, 1984, and 1988.

[[Sweden men's national ice hockey team|Sweden]] have appeared in 78 out of 83 tournaments to date, with [[Canada men's national ice hockey team|Canada]], having participated in 73, and [[Finland men's national ice hockey team|Finland]] in 66. Although the [[United States men's national ice hockey team|United States]] have appeared in 71 top division tournaments and five in lower divisions. This was in the [[1969 World Ice Hockey Championships|1969 event]], when the U.S. were unsuccessful at the tournament, finished in last place in Group A after losing all ten games. This marks the first time in Men's Worlds history, the United States were relegated out of the top division until the [[1970 World Ice Hockey Championships|1970 event]], the U.S. finished in first place in Group B (7th overall) after winning all seven games and were promoted back to Group A.

Finland is the current World Champion, defeating Canada in the gold medal game at the [[2019 IIHF World Championship]]. Since the IIHF introduced a playoff system in 1992, [[Switzerland men's national ice hockey team|Switzerland]] is the only team to have appeared in the IIHF World Championship final, but not winning, having lost to Sweden twice in 2013 and 2018. The United States is the only "[[Big Six (ice hockey)|Big Six]]" team to have never appeared in the IIHF World Championship final, having lost in the semifinals nine times.
