The 2012 Women's Hockey Champions Trophy was the 20th edition of the Hockey Champions Trophy for women. It was held from 28 January to 5 February 2012 in Rosario, Argentina. This was the last annual edition of the tournament until 2014 when it returned to its original biennial format due to the introduction of the World League.
Argentina won the tournament for the fifth time after defeating Great Britain 1–0 in the final. The Netherlands won the third place match by defeating Germany 5–4.[1]
Another format change was announced. The eight participating teams were split into two groups. After they played a round-robin every team advanced to the knockout stage. From there on, a knockout system was used to determine the winner.
Qualification
A change in the qualification process was decided. Along with the host nation, the top five finishers from the tournament's previous edition and the winner of the 2011 Champions Challenge I qualify automatically.
