==Combined University Teams==
As an extension of the Intervarsity Hockey Championships, a representative team was typically named at the conclusion of the carnival. This was known as the Combined Universities Team, or the Australian Universities Team. In years gone by, this combined team would tour New Zealand on a biannual basis and/or play matches against the open state teams of the day. The combined team would often play the Host State's Open State team at the immediate end of the Intervarsity carnival. The last of the [[New Zealand Tours]] occurred in the 1980s. Selection in the Combined Universities Team was considered an excellent achievement and many State and even National players have been chosen for these teams.

With the advent of [[Australian University Games]] in 1993, the format of naming a 'representative' team was replaced whereby Australian University Sport would name a Green and Gold Merit team. This was essentially done under the same pretence as the Combined University Team, with the best players at the carnival chosen for what is now known as the 'Green and Gold Team'.<ref>[http://www.unisport.com.au/InsideAUS/OrganisationalPolicies/Pages/AUSAwardsGuidelines.aspx Green & Gold selection guidelines] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121106034528/http://www.unisport.com.au/InsideAUS/OrganisationalPolicies/Pages/AUSAwardsGuidelines.aspx |date=2012-11-06 }}, Australian University Sport, www.unisport.com.au</ref> This team, however, is ceremonious in nature only and does not compete in any matches.
