The Hockeyroos have secured a World Cup warm-up tournament title after holding Germany to a 3-3 draw in Bremen.
South Australian Georgie Parker's last minute equaliser was the Hockeyroos' third of the game on Sunday.
It came after NSW forward Emily Smith had levelled Tina Bachmann's fifth minute opener and Victorian Georgia Nanascawen had cancelled out Lydia Haase's goal for 2-2.
While a draw would be enough for the Hockeyroos, Germany required a victory to win the tournament on home turf.
"We played some pretty good hockey and certainly created enough chances to score three goals," Hockeyroos coach Adam Commens said.
"Germany played very well. They're a team that's improving all the time. We'll probably need to be better if we are to beat them in the latter stages of the World Cup."
With just 12 days to go before the start of the tournament, Commens says he's satisfied with their performances this week.
"As far as starts of tours go it's been one of our better starts to a tour. It's satisfying to win the tournament."
The Hockeyroos now move on to Belgium where they'll meet the Belgian women in their final official pre-World Cup Test on Tuesday.
The Australian women will play Korea on Saturday 31 May in their opening World Cup clash in The Hague.
