Format

The top five teams from the previous tournament were placed in Group A and the teams that finished sixth through eighth in the 2024 tournament, plus two teams promoted from 2024 Division IA, were placed in Group B. All of the teams in Group A and the top three teams from Group B continued to the knockout phase, while the bottom two teams from Group B were relegated. During the knockout stage, there was a re-seeding after the quarterfinals.

Marketing

The mascot was a superhero named Tori, whose name was chosen in an audience poll. The motto was "Hrdinky přicházejí" (marketed in English as "Heroes Incoming", but more precisely translated as "Heroines Incoming"). With 122,331 total spectators, the tournament broke the world championship attendance record previously held by the 2007 edition in Canada.
