The 2015 Oceania Athletics Championships were held at Barlow Park in Cairns, Australia, between May 8–10, 2015.[1] The event was held jointly with the 2015 Oceania Youth Athletics Championships and the 2015 Oceania Combined Events Championships. Moreover, there were also exhibition events for masters and athletes with a disability (parasports), as well as school events for age groups 5 to 15 years.[1][2] Detailed reports on a day by day basis were given.[3][4][5]
Initially, a total of 48 events were scheduled.[1] However, results for women's pole vault could not be retrieved. The event was most probably cancelled resulting in a total of 47 contested events, 24 by men, 22 by women, and 1 mixed.
