In most other competitions, including the Women's Hockey World Cup, the Commonwealth Games and some editions of the Hockey Champions Trophy, three of the home nations compete in their own right: England and Scotland and Wales, while Northern Ireland is represented as part of the all-Ireland team.[1][2]

The team has won gold once and bronze on three occasions at the Summer Olympics, and silver once in the Champions Trophy.
