Field Hockey was introduced during the 1908 Summer Olympics, but it was removed from the Olympic Games after the 1920 Summer Olympics, after which the Fédération Internationale de Hockey was founded. After this, it has been featured non-stop since Amsterdam 1928, with a women's team event having been added at Moscow 1980.
Although there have been several dominant forces in field hockey, the women's team from the Netherlands has won eight out of a possible ten medals, after not competing once, and once finishing sixth.
