De beste twee schaatssters op de 5000 meter krijgen een ticket voor de wereldbekerwedstrijd op die afstand in december in Thialf. De andere Nederlandse schaatssters op die afstand in Heerenveen komen uit het wereldbekerklassement van de 3000 meter na de wedstrijden in China en Japan.
Groenewoud en Conijn hadden zich eerder al gekwalificeerd voor de wereldbekerwedstrijden op de 3000 meter, net als Gioya Lancee, Joy Beune en Bente Kerkhoff.
