The '''2004 [[IIHF World Women's Championships]]''' were held March 30 – April 6, 2004 in [[Halifax Urban Area|Halifax]] and [[Dartmouth, Nova Scotia|Dartmouth]], [[Canada]] at the [[Scotiabank Centre|Halifax Metro Centre]] (now known as Scotiabank Centre), and the [[Dartmouth Sportsplex]] (now known as Zatzman Sportsplex). The [[Canada women's national ice hockey team|Canadian national women's hockey team]] won their eighth straight World Championships. The event had 9 teams, because the 2003 event was cancelled due to the [[SARS]] epidemic, therefore no teams were relegated and the winners of the 2002 and 2003 Division I tournaments qualified. Canada won their 37th consecutive World Championship game before losing 3–1 in their third game. They later avenged their loss to the US by defeating them in the gold medal game 2–1. Sweden and Finland also met each other twice, with Finland winning the bronze medal game 3–2 improving on the earlier draw.

In addition to being the qualifications for the 2005 world tournaments, this year also finalized the qualification for the [[2006 Winter Olympics]].
