Argentina won the tournament for the sixth time after defeating Australia 3–1 in the final on a penalty shoot-out after a 1–1 draw, tying the record of six titles previously set by Australia and the Netherlands in 2003 and 2011 respectively. ^[1] The Netherlands won the third place match by defeating New Zealand 2–1. ^[2]

Qualification

Alongside as the host nation, the top five finishers from the previous edition and the winner of the 2012 Champions Challenge I qualified automatically. The remaining spots were nominated by the FIH Executive Board, making a total of 8 competing teams.
