2012 OFC Women's Under 20 Qualifying Tournament was the 5th edition of OFC Women's Under 20 Qualifying Tournament. The tournament took place in Auckland, New Zealand from 10 to 14 April.[1] It was initially scheduled to be played in Auckland, New Zealand from 16–20 January 2012, but was postponed by Oceania Football Confederation due to two late entries.[2] The Championship acted as the continent's qualifying event for the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup that will take place Japan later in this year.

The tournament was won by New Zealand, who qualified to the World Cup.[3]

The tournament was held alongside the 2012 OFC Women's Under 17 Qualifying Tournament, using the same venue and alternating matchdays.
