The 18th edition of the Men's Champions Trophy took place from Saturday December 7th until Sunday December 15th 1996 in the newly build Mayor Radhakrishnan Stadium in Madras (now Chennai), India. Participating nations in this post-Olympic tournament were: Australia, titleholders Germany, hosting nation India, The Netherlands, Pakistan, and Spain.
For the fifth time the annual six nations tournament ended with play-offs, in which the numbers one and two from the Round Robin faced each other in the final. The numbers three and four played the bronze medal game, while the numbers five and six tried to avoid relegation in their 5th/6th place match. For the first time a win was rewarded with three instead of two points in the preliminary round robin.
