The USA women’s field hockey team has earned one medal throughout their participation in the Summer Olympics. Their only medal in the Olympics came at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics in the form of a bronze.

During their home Games, which featured a round-robin format, the United States women's field hockey team got the better of Australia in a penalty shoot-out with a score of 10-5. Both teams finished third, having identical points and goal differences after all the matches ended, which resulted in a penalty shoot-out between the two before the USA emerged victorious.
