The 2015 Women's Australian Hockey League was the 23rd edition of the women's field hockey tournament. The tournament was held in the New South Wales city of Sydney.
The Queensland Scorchers won the gold medal for the fifth time by defeating the Victorian Vipers 2–1 in the final.
Competition format
The tournament is divided into two pools, Pool A and Pool B, consisting of four teams in a round robin format. Teams then progress into either Pool C, the medal round, or Pool D, the classification round. Teams carry over points from their previous match ups, and contest teams they are yet to play.
The top two teams in each of pools A and B then progress to Pool C. The top two teams in Pool C continue to contest the Final, while the bottom two teams of Pool C play in the Third and Fourth place match.
The remaining bottom placing teams make up Pool D. The top two teams in Pool D play in the Fifth and Sixth place match, while the bottom two teams of Pool C play in the Seventh and Eighth place match.
