The 2013 Ball Hockey World Championship was the tenth ball hockey world championship held by the ISBHF. The tournament took place over eight days at the Jack Byrne Arena in St. John's and the Glacier Arena in Mount Pearl, Canada, with 78 games across three divisions (men's A-Pool, men's B-Pool, and women's).[1]

Slovakia won their second men's title, defeating the Czech Republic 2–1 in the final.[1][2] Canada captured the bronze medal with a 7–3 victory over Portugal.[1] The Canada women's national ball hockey team won the gold medal in the women's tournament, with Dawn Tulk scoring both goals in a 2–0 victory over Slovakia.[1] In the B-Pool, Bermuda won the title over Italy in a shootout, while Israel took bronze in their first-ever World Championship appearance.[1]
