They would not return to the tournament until 2000, though except for 2001 have been a regular participant since then.^[2]

The team plays in the colours of the national flag: red, white, and light blue. The squad is coached by Petr Fical of Germany and captained by Ronny Scheier.^{[citation needed]} Monique Scheier-Schneider served as the team's general manager from the 2005 to 2007 world championships.^[3]

In the 2007 World Championships, Luxembourg finished third in Division III, narrowly missing out on promotion to Division II after being defeated 4–3 by hosts Ireland in overtime. Luxembourg has never competed in ice hockey at the Olympics. They placed third at the 2009 IIHF World Championship Division III in Dunedin, New Zealand. They won their first tournament in 2017 at the Division III level.^[2]
