The NT Pearls aka Darwin Airport Resort Territory Pearls are a nationally competing women's field hockey team based in the Northern Territory of Australia.[2]

History

[edit]

Both the men's and women's Northern Territory representative teams entered the Australian Hockey League at different times. While the women joined in the tournament's inaugural year of 1993, the men didn't join until 1998.

While participating for the first three years, the women's team were absent from the AHL between 1996 and 1999.

The men and women have both previously represented NT under different names. The men have represented as the Territory Stingers (2001–2008) and the Darwin Stingers (2010, 2012), while the women have represented as the Darwin Blazez (1993–1995) and the Territory Pearls (2006–2007, 2010).

The Territory Pearls will part in the Malaysian domestic season Malaysia Hockey League in 2025.[3]
