The Uruguay women's national field hockey team represents Uruguay in women's international field hockey competitions.[2] It is controlled by the Federación Uruguaya de Hockey Sobre Césped.
History
Field hockey in Uruguay is traditionally a sport played by the middle and upper-class, with most playing activity among private schools in the capital city, Montevideo.[3] In 1999, the Uruguayan Olympic Committee constructed the first synthetic hockey field in the country.[3]
To ensure better player retention, an U17 team was created in 2002.[3] By 2003, efforts were underway to introduce the sport to more state schools.[3]
