The 2025 OFC U-19 Women's Championship was the 11th edition of the OFC U-19/U-20 Women's Championship, the biennial international youth football championship organised by the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) for the women's under-19/under-20 national teams of Oceania. The tournament was held in Tahiti from 21 September to 5 October 2025.[1]
The winner of the tournament qualified for the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Poland as the OFC representative. The runner-up of the tournament eventually also qualified as an additional slot was allocated to OFC.
Tonga won the qualifying tournament on home soil in March, beating American Samoa and Solomon Islands, to qualify for the finals tournament. All but one of the other 8 FIFA-affiliated national teams from OFC entered the tournament (Papua New Guinea choosing not to enter).[3]
Samoa pulled out of the tournament due to the financial reasons announcing their decision on 11 September 2025.[4]
The main stadium at Tahiti – Stade Pater – is preparing for the 2027 Pacific Games. The first stadiums for the tournament is Stade de Punaruu.
