Japan women's national floorball team is the national team of Japan in women's floorball.
The team participated in the only (open) 1995 European Championships and later in the first World Championships. In both cases, it was the only non-European team and finished last.[1] In the following tournaments, the team moved between Division A and Division B.
At the 2005 World Championships, Japan achieved its best result, the eighth place (last in Division A).[2] As of 2025, this remains the best result of any non-European team. Since the introduction of qualification in 2011, Japan has regularly participated in the championships. In the new system, its best result was ninth place at the 2023 World Championships.[3]
In the IFF rankings, the team is placed 11th, following 9th and 13th place finishes at last two World Championships in 2023 and 2025.[4][5]
