Hockey is a relatively new addition to the Commonwealth Games, debuting at Kuala Lumpur 1998, but is now a core sport that must be contest at every edition.
Australia have traditionally dominated medals, winning every men's gold and all but two women's gold over hockey's history at the Games.
New Zealand helped break that domination at Gold Coast 2018, when the Black Sticks women defeated their trans-Tasman rivals 4-1 in the final, after needing a penalty shootout to overcome England in the semis.
The NZ men have never broken the Aussie stranglehold, but have lost twice in the final, includng four years ago at Gold Coast. Both teams are currently rebuilding, after disappointing Tokyo Olympic campaigns last year.
