1999 Women's World Ice Hockey Championships (Lower Divisions)

The 1999 Women's World Ice Hockey Championships (Lower Divisions) comprised tournaments held to determine placement for teams not participating in the main 1999 IIHF Women's World Ice Hockey Championship. These lower division tournaments served as qualification rounds for future championships and provided competitive opportunities for developing national programs in women's ice hockey.

The tournaments were structured to allow nations to compete at different skill levels. Teams were divided into pools based on their previous performance and overall ranking within the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF). Promotion and relegation between divisions occurred based on the results of these tournaments, allowing for upward mobility for teams demonstrating improvement and downward movement for those struggling.

Specific details about the locations, dates, participating teams, and final standings of each lower division tournament within the 1999 championships are typically found in archived IIHF records and historical sports databases. Information regarding the promotion and relegation results, and how those results impacted subsequent World Championship placements, is also pertinent to understanding the significance of these tournaments.
