Field hockey was introduced at the Pacific Games (formerly South Pacific Games) at the sixth edition in 1979 for men. The women's tournament was first contested at the twelfth edition in 2003. From the 2015 Games, the Hockey 5s format, a 5-a-side tournament played on a smaller-sized field, has been used.
Field hockey is currently an optional sport on the Pacific Games programme.
