The tournament served as the Oceania qualifier for the 2025 FIH Junior World Cup to be held in India.[4][5] As the Oceania Hockey Federation receives three qualification quotas, the top three placed nations gained qualification to the FIH Junior World Cup.[5]
Australia won the tournament for the sixth consecutive time. They defeated New Zealand 3–2 in penalties after both teams were level on all tiebreakers at the conclusion of the test matches.
