The Canada national ringette team (popularly known as Team Canada; French: Équipe Canada) is the ringette team representing Canada internationally. Canada has both a senior national team, Team Canada Senior, and a junior national team, Team Canada Junior. Both national teams compete in the World Ringette Championships (WRC) and are overseen by Ringette Canada[4] which is a member of the International Ringette Federation (IRF). Team members are selected from the National Ringette League. Team Canada and Team Finland have emerged as ringette's major international rivals at both the senior and junior level.
Canada's first appearance in international ringette took place at the first World Ringette Championships in 1990 when Canada sent six different regional teams representing six different Canadian provinces. Canada's first unified national ringette team was created in 1996, becoming the country's first singular representative team. The next time Canada competed was at the 1998 Summit Series where Team Canada Senior and Team Finland Senior competed exclusively in a European tour.
The 2009 World Junior Ringette Championships marked the first time an international competition took place specifically for junior players between ringette playing nations. The junior tournament merged with the World Ringette Championships senior tournament in 2013 during the sport's 50th anniversary, the same year Canada created its first all-junior national ringette team.
Canada was initially represented by six different amateur ringette teams at the inaugural World Ringette Championships in 1990 which took place in Gloucester, Ontario, Canada.[6] In 1996, Canada's national ringette team became the first single representative Canadian team for ringette internationally, forming roughly 20 years after the death of Sam Jacks in 1975, the Canadian identified as the sport's inventor.[7]
Until 2009, Canada only had world representation in ringette at the senior level due to the fact that it was the only level available for elite international ringette competition. Canada created two teams which formed in 2009 for the inaugural World Junior Ringette Championships in the Czech Republic, but Canada wouldn't form its first, single representative all-junior national team until 2013.
The 1998 World Ringette Championships were replaced by a Summit Series between Team Canada and Team Finland, both of which were senior teams. Team Canada finished in second place while Team Finland finished in first.

Canada's first appearance in international ringette took place at the first World Ringette Championships in 1990 with six different Canadian senior amateur ringette teams representing the country: Team Alberta (Calgary Debs), Team Ontario, Team Quebec, Team Manitoba, Team Saskatchewan, and Team Gloucester (host). The winners of the 1989 Western Canadian Ringette Championships, the Calgary Debs advanced to the first World Ringette Championships in 1990 as Team Alberta.[9][6] The team went on to become the first to win the World Ringette Championship and the Sam Jacks Trophy.[10][9][11] Clémence Duchesneau was named the tournament's top goalie, an award she also claimed at the next tournament.[12]
Canada was represented by two separate teams, Team Canada East and Team Canada West, during the 1992 World Ringette Championships and the 1994 World Ringette Championships. Since the 1996 World Ringette Championships only one national Canadian team has served as the Canadian senior representative; it has won the competition twice, in 1996 and in 2002.[13][14]
The 2009 World Junior Ringette Championships marked the first time an international competition took place specifically for junior players between ringette playing nations. The tournament was created separately from the major competition between senior national teams (the World Ringette Championships) and was established by the International Ringette Federation. Canada was represented by two different Canadian junior amateur ringette teams, Team Canada East and Team Canada West. At the 2012 World Junior Ringette Championships, Canada was represented by two separate teams: Team Canada East Under-19, and Team Canada West Under-19. The first single representative national junior ringette team in Canada was formed in 2013.
The 2009 World Junior Ringette Championships took place in Prague in the Czech Republic between August 4–8, 2009. It was the first ever international competition for junior ringette teams governed by the International Ringette Federation. Canada was represented at the junior level by two separate teams: Team Canada East (Under-19), and Team Canada West (Under-19).[15][16][17]

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the 2021 World Ringette Championships were cancelled and therefore there was no Team Canada Junior for that year.
The 2022 Team Canada Junior Under-21 team (U21) will compete in Espoo, Finland from October 31 to November 6, 2022, at the 2022 World Ringette Championships.
Athletes for the 2022 Team Canada Juniors were chosen during a selection camp held in Mississauga, Ontario. For this WRC, athletes were named to Ringette Canada’s, "Junior National Travelling Team Roster". This roster is made up of 20 "Playing Roster" athletes, and 2 "Development Roster" athletes. Development Roster athletes are only added to the Playing Roster if the athlete is deemed unfit to play for medical reasons and thus needs to be removed from the Playing Roster.[33]
