The
Australian Hockey League (AHL) is
Australia’s premier national domestic
field hockey competition. Despite its non-professional nature, AHL is considered one of the strongest and most competitive national field hockey leagues in the world. The AHL consists of both men's and women's competition. It includes many players from the
Kookaburras and the
Hockeyroos, and participating in the AHL is a selection requirement for all Australian national squad members.
