# 2015 Under 21 Women's Australian Hockey Championships

The 2015 Under 21 Women's Australian Hockey Championship was a women's field hockey tournament. The competition was held in the Tasmanian city of Hobart, from 12 to 19 July.
Victoria won the gold medal, defeating New South Wales 3–2 in the final. Queensland finished in third place after a 4–1 win against Western Australia in the third place match.

## Competition format

The tournament is divided into two pools, Pool A and Pool B, consisting of four teams in a round robin format. Teams then progress into either Pool C, the medal round, or Pool D, the classification round. Teams carry over points from their previous match ups, and contest teams they are yet to play.
The top two teams in each of pools A and B then progress to Pool C. The top two teams in Pool C continue to contest the Final, while the bottom two teams of Pool C play in the Third and Fourth place match.
The remaining bottom placing teams make up Pool D. The top two teams in Pool D play in the Fifth and Sixth place match, while the bottom two teams of Pool C play in the Seventh and Eighth place match.
