The 2015 Women's Australian Country Championships was a field hockey tournament held in Wollongong, New South Wales between 8–15 August 2015.

VIC Country won the tournament by defeating WA Country 2–0 in the final. NSW Country won the bronze medal by defeating QLD Country 2–1 in the third and fourth playoff.[1]

Teams

[edit]

Unlike other National Australian Championships the Australian Country Championships only comprises teams from regional/country associations of each Australian State, as well as a team from the Australian Defence Force.[2]

Competition format

[edit]

The tournament is played in a round-robin format, with each team facing each other once. Final placings after the pool matches determine playoffs.

The fifth and sixth placed teams contest the fifth and sixth-place match, while the top four placed teams contest the semi-finals, with the winners contesting the final, and the losers contesting the third and fourth place playoff.
