The 2009 Men's Hockey World Cup Qualifiers were the 12th edition of the Hockey World Cup qualification tournament. Three events were held between October and November 2009 in France, New Zealand and Argentina and only the winner of each would earn a berth to play in the 2010 World Cup, to be held in New Delhi, India. ^[1]

Pakistan, New Zealand and Argentina each won one of the three tournaments. ^{[2] [3] [4]}
