List of top-division football clubs in OFC countries

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A map of the world. New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, countries between the two (apart from Australia) and parts of Micronesia are coloured.
  OFC countries on this map of the world's six football confederations.

This is a list of top-division association football clubs in OFC countries. OFC is the football confederation that oversees the sport in Oceania. The OFC is made up of 11 full members and 3 associate members.

The football associations of Australia and Guam are members of AFC, the Asian football confederation (Australia was previously an OFC member but had left), and the football association of Northern Mariana Islands is a provisional associate member of AFC (previously an OFC associate member but had left). The football associations of Kiribati, Niue and Tuvalu are associate members of OFC (but not members of FIFA). The sovereign states of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Nauru and Palau, as well as the dependent territories of Norfolk Island, Pitcairn Islands, Tokelau, and Wallis and Futuna, are not members of OFC or any other football confederation.

Each of the OFC member countries have their own football league systems, as do some non-members. The clubs playing in each top-level league compete for the title as the country's club champions, and also for some countries, places in next season's OFC club competition, i.e., the OFC Champions League. Due to promotion and relegation, the clubs playing in the top-level league in some countries are different every season.

The champions of the previous season in each country are listed in bold.

  • For clubs playing at lower divisions, see the separate articles linked to in the relevant sections.
  • For clubs belonging to any of the other five continental football confederations of the world, see List of football (soccer) clubs.
