Hockey Australia[1] is an organisation that formed from the merger of the Australian Hockey Association and Women's Hockey Australia in 2000. It is the national body responsible for the promotion, development and administration of field hockey in Australia. Hockey Australia is a full member of the International Hockey Federation and comprises the State and Territory associations.
The British Army has been credited with the spread of hockey throughout the world, but in Australia's case, the British Navy deserves the honours. In the late 1800s, Australia did not have a naval fleet of its own and relied upon the Royal Navy for the security of the coastline. The British Naval officers stationed in Australia taught the locals the game of hockey and laid the foundations for a sport which Australians have developed and mastered.[2]
Hockey Australia is the governing body that oversees Australia's National Teams.
Hockey Australia organises National Tournaments, at various levels. These are as follows:
In August 2015, Hockey Australia announced its Indoor Australian Championships will be held in Wollongong in 2016 and 2017. The three-week festival of indoor hockey will be played at the Illawarra Hockey Centre, in Wollongong. Championships will be played in Open, Under 15, Under 18 and the Under 21 categories, as well as a new Under 13 event, over the 23 days. This is the first time all Australian Indoor Championships are held in one venue.[7]

The Australian Hockey League is the premier field hockey competition in Australia, it began in 1991, with its arrival the Open National Championships were discontinued.
[33]
The Open National Championships were discontinued from 1992 for the Men (The men held a competition called the Kookaburra Cup in 1994[10]) and 1994 for the Women. This coincided with the creation of the Australian Hockey League in 1991 (Men) and 1993 (Women) which became the flagship National Competition. In 2019 Hockey One was created to supersede the Australian Hockey League.
The Under 21 National Championships followed a full round-robin and semi-final (1st v 4th, 2nd v 3rd), winners play in the Gold Medal match until 2014.
Since 2014 these championships have operated with two pools of four teams, with the top two teams in each pool qualifying for the medal pool (1st-4th), and the bottom four teams qualifying for the classification pool (5th-8th).
Since 2018 the structure has changed slightly with every two pools of four teams. From there crossover quarterfinals occur with 1st place in Pool A playing 4th place from Pool B, 2nd in Pool A playing 3rd in Pool B and so on, this replicated the finals format from the World League. In the 2018 Men's Championship[44] it meant that Tasmania who lost all three pool games were able to win three knockout matches and be crowned National Champions. Under the format from 2017,[45] this would not have been possible.
The Under 18 National Championships followed a full round-robin and semi-final (1st v 4th, 2nd v 3rd), winners play in the Gold Medal match until 2014.
From 2014 onwards the championships have been contested by ten teams, with New South Wales and Victoria each fielding 2 teams, although in some cases it was Queensland and not Victoria. This required the creation of two pools of five teams each with crossover semi-finals of 1st in Pool A playing 2nd in Pool B and vice versa, the winners playing in the Gold medal match, loser playing for third place.
In 2016 the number of teams increased to eleven with the addition of a second Queensland team.
In 2022 this increased to 12 teams with the addition of a second team from Western Australia.
These four states' teams are selected as a First and Second team, these are their names: New South Wales State & New South Wales Blue Victoria & Victoria Development Queensland Maroon & Queensland Gold Western Australia Gold & Western Australia Black
In the Under 15 National Championships followed a full round-robin with the 1st and 2nd ranked teams to play in the Gold Medal match, 3rd and 4th placed teams playing for third place and so on, until 2009.
From 2010 to 2013 Hockey Australia did not play a finals series, so the winners were the teams ranked highest on the ladder after the round-robin competition.
In 2014 Hockey Australia increased the number of teams to twelve with the stronger states (New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia) fielding two teams each. This required the creation of two pools of six teams each with crossover semi-finals of 1st in Pool A playing 2nd in Pool B and vice versa, the winners playing in the Gold medal match, the loser playing for third place.
The Under 13 National Championship was included as a full National Championship from 2011 (with the inclusion of all States and Territories). Prior to this, an invitational event was run and sanctioned by Hockey Australia but did not hold National Championship status. There are no finals series and the Champion is the team ranked highest on the ladder at the conclusion of the competition.
In 2014 Hockey Australia increased the number of teams to 12 with the stronger states (New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia) fielding two teams each.
In 2015 Hockey Australia renamed this event as an Australian Carnival, with the stronger states (New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia) required to pick even teams in order to promote participation over elitism. Despite this request Victoria continually picks a first and a second team as evidenced by their results (e.g. 2022[28] Boys Victoria Venom 1st, Victoria Volt 11th, 2019[46] Victoria Venom 1st, Victoria Volt 10th). Other states have suggested averaging finishing positions to determine an Overall Winner (e.g. 2022[28] Boys, Western Australia should be crowned champions, with WA Lightning 2nd & WA Storm 3rd, equals an average of 2.5, Queensland Runners-Up, with Queensland Cutters 4th & Queensland Sabres 6th, equals an average of 5, Victoria in third place with Victoria Venom 1st & Victoria Volt 11th, equals an average of 6, and New South Wales in fourth place with NSW Lions 5th & NSW Stars 8th, equals an average of 6.5). Matches are also shortened to 20-minute halves with a full round-robin, with teams required to often play double headers (two games) in one day. In 2019 this was changed to four 10-minute quarters.
