The Men's Hockey Champions Challenge I was an international men's field hockey tournament, played every two years.
It was introduced in 2001 by the International Hockey Federation (FIH) in order to broaden hockey's competitive base at world level. Launched in 2001, the last tournament was held in 2014 in Malaysia and won by South Korea. The champions challenge was replaced by the FIH Hockey World League in 2014 after eight editions.{{cite news|title=Did you know... a brief history of Champions Challenge 1|url=http://www.fih.ch/en/news-5052-did-you-know-a-brief-history-of-champions|work=FIH|date=2014-04-23|access-date=2014-04-23}}
