Format edit

Athletes from the Oceania Athletics Association (OAA) member federations will take part in the Oceania Cup, representing 5 teams from Oceania.[2] The teams have been selected by OAA to represent each region of the Pacific – Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia, with the Northern Marianas (host) and Australia the only two federations having their own team.[3]

The five teams will be competing over three days. The competition comprises a programme of 15 track and field events for men and women as well as 2 mixed relay events, giving a total of 32 events.[4]

Teams may enter as many athletes as they like in every event (with the exception of the 3000 meters run and high jump), but only one male and one female athlete may compete and score. Teams are only allowed to have a maximum of two athletes of each gender in the high jump and 3000 meter run. Every team is allowed to enter no more than of just one team in the relay event(s).[5]

Only those athletes from each team with the highest ranking will be eligible to score. However, in order to receive a score, athletes must register a performance. The top-eight athletes receive individual events score distributions of 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 based on their finishes. The five winning teams each receive 20-16-12-10-8 points for the relays. The team with the most points at the conclusion of the competition will be named the Oceania Athletics champions and awarded a trophy.[5]
