Australia defeated Belgium 3–2 in the final to win the first FIH Pro League title. The Netherlands won the third-place match against Great Britain 5–3.^[2]

The competition also served as a qualifier for the 2020 Summer Olympics with the four best teams qualifying for the FIH Olympic Qualifiers taking place in October and November 2019.

Qualification

Nine teams competed in a round-robin tournament with home and away matches, played from January to June, with the top four teams advancing to the final at the Wagener Stadium in Amstelveen, Netherlands.^[3] In July 2017, Hockey India decided to withdraw the men's national team from the competition as they estimated the chances of qualifying for the Summer Olympics to be higher when participating in the Hockey Series. Hockey India also cited lack of clarity in the ranking system.^[4][5] The International Hockey Federation subsequently invited Spain instead.^[6] Pakistan was suspended on 23 January 2019 after they could not play their first three games.^[7]

Notes

1. As Australia and Belgium had already qualified for the 2020 Summer Olympics via their own continental qualification tournaments (EuroHockey Championship, Oceania Cup), the teams placed below them (Netherlands, Great Britain) replaced their position as qualifiers to the Summer Olympics.
2. Pakistan was suspended on 23 January 2019.^[7]
