The IIHF Development Cup is an annual international ice hockey tournament sanctioned by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF). It is designed for national teams that do not compete in the IIHF World Championships.{{cite web | title=Development Cup | first=Christophe | last=Roy | website=IIHF International Ice Hockey Federation | date=May 3, 2023 | url=https://www.iihf.com/en/news/44173/development_cup | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230503114924/https://www.iihf.com/en/news/44173/development_cup | archive-date=May 3, 2023 | url-status=live | access-date=May 4, 2023}} Since countries are required to have an Olympic-size ice rink and a domestic league to play in the World Championships, the Development Cup is the highest-level international tournament available to many IIHF members.{{cite web | title=IIHF Development Cup Set To Make History | website=The Puck Authority | date=May 4, 2022 | url=https://thepuckauthority.com/iihf-development-cup-set-to-make-history/ | access-date=May 6, 2023}}
