The Oceania Athletics Cup (simply Oceania Cup), is an international track and field competition organised by Oceania Athletics, between different teams of Oceania.
The first edition was held in 2001 in Port Vila. After the second edition in 2003, the event was subsequently cancelled due to the sub-regional championships of Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. However, the competition was revived in 2021 resulting from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic due to numerous athletics competitions in the region being postponed/cancelled altogether.
Unlike most international competitions, medals are not awarded to individuals in individual events but to the overall winning team on a points system.
Editions The Australian teams for the first two editions recruited athletes from the winning team of the Australian Clubs Championships, which, in both years, was the University of Queensland Athletic Club.
