History The Oceania Cup was introduced to international hockey in 1999. The first tournament was used as the Oceania qualifier for the 2000 Summer Olympics. Since its inception, the tournament has been held biennially.
Hosting rights for the tournament generally switch between Hockey Australia and the New Zealand Hockey Federation each tournament.
