The competition features players from New Zealand's national hockey teams, the Black Sticks Men and Women .
The most recent champions are North Harbour in the men's tournament, and North Harbour in the women's.[ 2]
History
The first season of both the men's and women's Ford National Hockey League took place in 2000, and has been held annually since.[ 3] The most successful team in both the men's and women's competition is Auckland , with both teams having won 5 titles apiece.
