* The 2024 UniNationals was unprecedentedly held outside of the Universities Australia common vacation weeks (and also during club finals for competitions around Australia), precluding many teams, including Melbourne, from participating. By breaching this covenant, its status as a legitimate InterVarsity Hockey competition is questionable, and it may best be viewed as a carnival akin to the ‘Summer IV’ than ran in the 1970s.

Combined IV (1978-1992)

In this period, the Men's and Women's InterVarsity Hockey competitions were held as a combined event.
