# 2010 Women's Hockey World Cup Qualifiers

The 2010 Women's Hockey World Cup Qualifiers refers to three qualification tournaments for the 2010 Women's Hockey World Cup. Three events were held between March and June 2010 in the United States, Russia and Chile. The winners of each tournament qualified for the final tournament.
South Korea, Japan and Australia each won one of the three tournaments.

## Qualification

Except for Africa, all other four confederations received quotas for teams to participate allocated by the International Hockey Federation based upon the FIH World Rankings at the completion of the 2008 Summer Olympics. Those teams participated at their respective continental championships but could not qualify through it, and they received the chance to qualify through one of the three tournaments based on the final ranking at each competition.
