The New Zealand National Hockey League, known also by the sponsored name Ford National Hockey League, was the New Zealand's national field hockey championship.[1]

The competition features players from New Zealand's national hockey teams, the Black Sticks Men and Women.

The most recent champions are in the men's tournament, and North Harbour in the women's.[2]

History[]

The first season of both the men's and women's Ford National Hockey League took place in 2000, and has been held annually since.[3] The most successful team in both the men's and women's competition is Auckland, with both teams having won 5 titles apiece.

2019 will mark the end of the Ford NHL, with Hockey New Zealand restructuring the tournament into the Premier Hockey League in 2020.[4]
