Location of the World Cup venue

The 2014 Men's Hockey World Cup was the 13th edition of the Hockey World Cup, the quadrennial world championship for men's national field hockey teams organized by the FIH. It was held from 31 May to 15 June 2014 at the Kyocera Stadion in The Hague, Netherlands.[1] Simultaneously with the women's tournament. It was the third time that the Netherlands hosted the World Cup after 1973 and 1998.

Defending champions Australia won the tournament for the third time after defeating the Netherlands 6–1 in the final.[2] A capacity crowd of 14,472 attended the final.[3]

Argentina won the third place match by defeating England 2–0 to claim their first ever World Cup medal.[4]

Bidding

The host was announced on 11 November 2010 during the FIH Congress and Forum in Montreux, Switzerland after FIH received bids from The Hague and London.[5]
