The OFC Men's Nations Cup in an association football competition established in 1973. It is contested by the men's national teams of the members of the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC), the sport's Oceania governing body, and takes place every four years. The winners of the first final was New Zealand, who defeated Tahiti 2–0 in Auckland. The most recent final, hosted in Port Vila, was also won by New Zealand, who beat Vanuatu 3–0.
The Nations Cup final is the last match of competition, and the result determines which country's team is declared Oceania champion. As of the 2024 tournament, if after 90 minutes of regular play the score is a draw, an additional 30-minute period of play, called extra time, is added. If such a game is still tied after extra time, it is decided by penalty shoot-out. The team that wins the penalty shoot-out are then declared champions. In 2008, there was no final played; the winner was only decided in a round-robin tournament.
New Zealand is the most successful team in the history of the tournament, winning six titles. New Zealand has won the most finals with five, followed by Australia with four. New Caledonia has qualified for the final twice without success.
