The 2019 Women's Oceania Cup was the eleventh edition of the women's field hockey tournament. It was held from 5 to 8 September in Rockhampton.[1] [2]
The tournament served as a qualifier for the 2020 Summer Olympics.[3]
New Zealand won the tournament for the fourth time, finishing ahead of Australia on goal difference.[4]
Background
Australia were three-time back-to-back defending champions. The winners of the Cup earned an automatic place at the 2020 Olympic Games.[5]
The hosting announcement of the Rockhampton Hockey Association came as $5 million was being invested into the hockey centre to upgrade the facilities.[6] In March 2019, Stirling Hinchliffe, MLA for Sandgate and Minister for Local Government, Racing and Multicultural Affairs announced that the Government of Queensland had invested $2.5 million into the Kalka Shades, the home of the Rockhampton Hockey Association.[7]
