# 2000 Women's Hockey Champions Trophy

The 2000 Women's Hockey Champions Trophy was the 8th edition of the Hockey Champions Trophy for women. It was held from 26 May to 3 June 2000 in Amstelveen, Netherlands. It was held simultaneously with the men's tournament, just like the year before in Brisbane, Australia. From this year on, the tournament began to be held annually until the 2014 edition due to the introduction of the World League.
The Netherlands won the tournament, and their second title, after 7 years, defeating Germany 3–2 in the final, ending Australia's winning streak of 5 consecutive titles in 9 years.
