Hungary national bandy team is competing for Hungary in the international bandy tournaments.

History[edit]

Hungary national bandy team made its international debut in the Rossiya Tournament 1990 in Novosibirsk, Soviet Union.

Hungary made its world championship debut in 1991,[1] but the team has so far not reached any medals. On 6 January 2014 Hungary came in second in a four nation tournament in Davos, a centenary celebration of the European Championship of 1913. The other teams were Netherlands, Czech Republic, and Germany.[2][3]

Following the withdrawal by Canada, Hungary took its place in Division A at the 2018 WCS, [4] marking the first time Hungary will compete in the elite division, after Division B was created. However, Hungary came in last in the division, was relegated, and has played in Division B since, but has qualified for Division A in 2022.
