It was held from 31 May to 15 June 2014 at the Kyocera Stadion in The Hague, Netherlands.[1] simultaneously with the women's tournament. It was the third time that the Netherlands hosted the World Cup after 1973 and 1998.

The host was announced on 11 November 2010 during the FIH Congress and Forum in Montreux, Switzerland after FIH received bids from The Hague and London.[4]
