Teams

Ten national teams were scheduled to compete at the 2023 tournament. [2]

Format

With Australia and New Zealand already having qualified for the 2024 Summer Olympics, both were placed in Pool A where they played each other four times before the knockout stage. [1] The remaining eight teams were seeded into Pool B and Pool C to allow a clear run for countries competing for Olympic qualification. [3]

A knockout competition involving the two top teams of Pool B and two top teams of Pool C decided the Olympic qualifying berth.
