Group A of the Division I tournament was held at DNB Arena in Stavanger, Norway, from April 7 to 13. Group B was contested from April 8 to 14 at France. The winner of Group A, was initially presumed to be promoted to the 2015 top division. However with the Division I and II playing in an olympic year, and the eight olympic entries being in none of those tournaments, it was determined that the last placed olympic team will play a challenge series with the 2014 Division IA champion for promotion to the 2015 top division. The last-placed team was relegated to Group B for 2014. The Group B winner moved up to Group A, while the last placed team was relegated to Division II Group A.
