Floorball Canada organizes the Canada Cup every year, hosting teams from all across the country to compete in various divisions based on skill level. Floorball Canada organizes the elite-level national league (Floorball League of Canada as well as men's, women's, men's under-19, and women's under-19 national floorball teams. Floorball Canada has hosted the 2016 Women's under-19 World Championships in Belleville, Ontario, and the 2019 Men's under-19 World Floorball Championships in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Organization

Floorball Canada is divided into four regional federations: Alberta Floorball Association, British Columbia Floorball Federation, Floorball Ontario, and Québec Floorball Association. In the future, Floorball Canada will potentially add three more regional branches: Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and an Atlantic federation, which would include the three maritime provinces and Newfoundland & Labrador.[1]

Floorball Canada has been an ordinary member of the International Floorball Federation since 2001. Canada was given membership as part of the IFF in 1998, and has been competing in World Championships since that time.
