In the Top division they were able to hold their own against Switzerland, losing narrowly, and competed well against powerhouses of the game Russia, Finland and Czech Republic and played off in the Traditional B1 section, where they lost to Sweden in the Semi-Finals and Switzerland in the Bronze Medal Game.

Ireland 2 qualified for the Traditional D section, where they finished in 5th after beating Argentina.
