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]

Format

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.

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. In addition to the two teams nominated by the FIH Executive Board, the following eight teams, competed in this tournament.
