The 2024 Men's Roller Hockey World Cup was the 46th edition of the Roller Hockey World Cup, organised by World Skate. The tournament was held in Italy, in the city of Novara,[1] as part of the 2024 World Skate Games.[2]

It took place alongside the women's tournament, which followed the same format.

Spain claimed their 18th world title.

Competition format

The competition is again divided into three championships:[3]

  • World Cup, which brings together the eight best teams
  • Intercontinental Cup, which brings together the following eight teams
  • Challenger Cup, in which all the other teams play

Italy and Portugal were in pot 2, France and Angola in pot 3, while Chile and the United States were in pot 4. Each team plays once against every other team in their group.

The knockout stage consists of a single-elimination tournament. The quarter-finals losers will play for the 5th to 8th placements and the semi-finals losers will play each other for the third place.
