The 2003 Men's Hockey Champions Trophy took place in the Wagener Stadium in Amstelveen, Netherlands. The event started August 16 and ended on August 24, 2003.
Participating nations at the annual men's elite six nations tournament were Australia, Argentina, India, Germany, Pakistan, and hosts and reigning champions Netherlands. The German team fielded a second-string squad as their best players were preparing for the 2003 Men's EuroHockey Nations Championship in Barcelona instead.
The tournament was scheduled to be held in Milton Keynes, Great Britain, but due to financial problems the English Hockey Federation decided to withdraw its bid.
