The 2009 Men's Hockey Champions Challenge was held from December 6 to December 13, 2009 in Salta, Argentina. The competitors were 8 teams ranked from 7th to 15th in the world.[1]
This was the fifth edition of the tournament created by the International Hockey Federation in 2001 to broaden hockey's competitive base globally and featured the 8 teams just behind the top six teams in the world.[1]
New Zealand defeated Pakistan to take the title, and qualify for the Champions Trophy tournament in 2010 in Mönchengladbach, Germany.[2]
