The format for selecting Oceania's women's representative at the Olympic Women's Football Tournament, since Oceania first gained entry in 2000, has changed from tournament to tournament.
In 2000, Australia, as host nation of the 2000 Olympic Games, qualified. In 2004, a tournament was held in Fiji, featuring the host nation, Australia and Papua New Guinea.
In 2008, New Zealand, as winners of the 2007 Oceania Women's World Cup qualifying tournament, will play the winners of the 2007 South Pacific Games women's tournament in a home-and-away tie to determine Oceania's representatives in Beijing.
* Four years on, a qualifying group determined which team would play New Zealand in a home-and-away play-off to determine Oceania's representatives at London 2012. Details of the group winners are recorded above.
In 2015, the South Pacific Games were used to determine the Olympic qualifiers to face New Zealand in a home-and-away play-off to finalise Oceania's contenders for Rio 2016. The qualifiers, Papua New Guinea, defaulted the away leg, having copped a 7-1 hiding at home. Let's just say the punishment - a token fine - didn't fit the crime - bringing the game into disrepute!
