The Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) is one of the six continental confederations of international association football. The OFC has 13 member associations, 11 of which are full members and two which are associate members not affiliated with FIFA. It promotes the game in Oceania and allows the member nations to qualify for the FIFA World Cup.

OFC is predominantly made up of island nations where association football is not the most popular sport, with low GDP and low population meaning very little money is generated by the OFC nations. The OFC has little influence in the wider football world, either in terms of international competition or as a source of players for high-profile club competitions. OFC is the only confederation to have not had at least one international title, the best result being Australia making the final of the 1997 FIFA Confederations Cup.

In 2006, the OFC's then largest and most successful nation, Australia, left for a second time to join the Asian Football Confederation, leaving New Zealand as the largest federation within the OFC. Since then, New Zealand have served as the dominant force in Oceanian football, winning every FIFA World Cup qualification tournament and all but one OFC Nations Cups in that span.

OFC runs club competitions such as the Champions League and the Pro League, whose inaugural season began in January 2026. Northern League side Auckland City are widely considered to be the most successful club in the region, winning a record 13 Champions Leagues and routinely represent the continent in the FIFA Club World Cup. Prior to the establishment of the Pro League, Auckland FC and Wellington Phoenix were the region's only professional clubs and have played as expatriate members in Australia's A-League. In the past year, S-League side Real Kakamora have established a significantly-sized international fanbase due to their notable on-field results and social media presence and are also considered to be one of the most popular clubs in the region.

The president of OFC is Lambert Maltock since April 2018. The vice presidents are Thierry Ariiotima, Kapi Natto John and Lord Ve'ehala while Franck Castillo is the general secretary. The confederation is headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand.
