The tournament served as a qualifier for the 2000 Summer Olympics.
Australia won the tournament for the first time, defeating New Zealand in the three–game series, 3–0. However, as Australia had already qualified for the Summer Olympics as the host nation, the entry quota was added to the Olympic Qualification Tournament.
