2021 Men's Trans-Tasman Hockey Series
# 2021 Men's Trans-Tasman Hockey Series

The 2021 Trans–Tasman Hockey Series was a field hockey series, comprising four test matches between the national teams of Australia and New Zealand. The series was held at Massey University in Palmerston North, from 27 May to 1 June.
