Teams
Argentina, Australia, and England who competed in the past tournament did not participate this year due to the 2019 Men's FIH Pro League. Canada, Japan, and South Korea are the teams replacing them.
Ireland withdrew from the tournament a month before it began. Poland was invited to replace South Africa (the team planned to replace Ireland), who were not able to finance flight tickets.{{cite news |last1=Avineshwaran |first1=T. |title=Hockey: South Africa withdraw from SultanAzlan Shah Cup {{!}} The Star Online |url=https://www.thestar.com.my/sport/hockey/2019/03/11/south-africa-withdrawfrom-sultanazlan-shah-cup/ |accessdate=11 March 2019 |work=www.thestar.com.my}}{{cite web |title=Sultan Azlan Shah Cup 2019 : Poland confirms participation |url=https://thedragflick.com/sultan-azlan-shah-cup-2019-poland-confirms-participation/ |website=thedragflick.com |accessdate=11 March 2019 |archive-date=1 December 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201201113534/https://thedragflick.com/sultan-azlan-shah-cup-2019-poland-confirms-participation/ |url-status=dead }}
