The 2011 World Junior Ice Hockey Championship Division I was a pair of international ice hockey tournaments organized by the International Ice Hockey Federation. Six teams played in each of the two groups. In addition to the usual promotion and relegation, the format (following this year) changed from two parallel tournaments, to two tiered tournaments.[1] This means that the teams who finished 2nd and 3rd will be grouped together with the two relegated teams from the top division, and the teams who finished 4th and 5th will be grouped with the two promoted teams from Division II.
