There was no OFC qualifying tournament to the first world cup in 2008, as New Zealand classified automatically as hosts.[1]
The inaugural edition, held in New Zealand from 12 to 14 April 2010, was a group stage contested by only 4 of OFC's 11 teams to fill the only spot for the 2010 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup. It was won by New Zealand, who won all their games without conceding a goal.[2] The 2016 edition was the first to play a knock-out stage. New Zealand won its third title.[3]
The edition held in August 2017 was an under-16 edition,[4] and the tournament was called the OFC U-16 Women's Championship, so was the 2023 edition.
Because the 2014 World Cup was already held in March, no sufficient early date could be found for the OFC qualifier. The tournament was cancelled and New Zealand sent to the World Cup by default.
