The 2015 Men's Under 21 Australian Hockey Championships was a men's Field Hockey tournament held in the Australian Capital Territory city of Canberra.

Victoria won the gold medal after defeating Western Australia 2–1 in the final. New South Wales won the bronze medal by defeating Queensland 6–3 in the third and fourth playoff.[1]

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.
