Oceania Championship

The Oceania Confederation comprises six countries: Australia, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Tahiti, Vanuatu, and Wallis and Futuna Islands.

Oceania Championships are held every two years and from 2010 onwards will be the qualifying tournament for the subsequent Open World Championships. Due to the smaller number of participating countries, the Women’s World Championship does not have a limit on entries. Up to three countries from the Oceania Confederation may participate in the Open World Championships.

Note: Wallis and Futuna is ineligible to compete at the World Championships as it is not considered an independent Federation but part of the French Federation.
