The 2019 Men's Oceania Cup was the eleventh edition of the men'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]
Australia won the tournament for the eleventh time, finishing ahead of New Zealand at the conclusion of the pool stage.[4]
Background
[edit ]Australia were the ten-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ドル 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ドル.5 million into the Kalka Shades, the home of the Rockhampton Hockey Association.[7]
