The 1957 Bandy World Championship was contested among three men's bandy playing nations and was the first ever Bandy World Championship. Norway declined to take part due to the Soviet invasion of Hungary in November 1956.[1]
The championship was played in Finland from 28 February to 3 March 1957, as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations for the Ball Association of Finland, which at the time was the governing body for bandy in Finland. The tournament was officially opened by President of the republic Urho Kekkonen.[2] All three games of the tournament were played at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium. The Soviet Union became champions.[3][4][5]
