Field hockey is a popular sport for men and women in many countries around the world. In most countries, especially those in which ice hockey is not very prominent, it is simply known as hockey.

Field hockey has several regular and prestigious international tournaments for both men and women. These events include the Olympic Games, the quadrennial World Hockey Cups, the annual Champions Trophies, and World Cups for juniors.

Pakistani and Indian national teams dominated men's hockey until the early 1980's, winning four of the first five world cups, but have become less prominent recently, with The Netherlands, Germany and Australia gaining importance in the late 1980s (though Pakistan won the world cup in 1994, came second in 1990, and gained a bronze Olympic medal in 1992). Other strong hockey playing nations include Spain, Argentina and South Korea. The Netherlands was the predominant international women's team before hockey was added to Olympic events. In the early 1990s Australia emerged as the strongest women's country, though retirement of a number of key players has weakened the team. Other important women's teams are China, Korea, Argentina and Germany.
