The 2007 Men's Australian Hockey League was the 17th edition of the men's field hockey tournament. The tournament was held from 23 February through to 1 April 2007 at various venues, before culminating in Perth for the finals.[1]
QLD Blades won the tournament for the fifth time after defeating the WA Thundersticks 1–0 in the final. VIC Vikings finished in third place after defeating the Tassie Tigers 5–4 in the third and fourth place playoff.[2]
Teams from all 8 states and territories competed against one another throughout the pool stage. At the conclusion of the pool stage, the top four ranked teams progressed to the semi-finals, while the bottom four teams continued to the classification stage.
The first four rounds of the pool stage comprised two-legged fixtures between states. As a result, matches in rounds five to seven of the pool stage were worth double points, due to the single-leg format.
