Oceania Athletics Championships

Oceania Athletics Championships

The Oceania Championships is an athletics event run by the Oceania Athletics Association which is held every two years. It began in 1990 as an area championships for the IAAF member countries of Oceania. Initially conceived as a quadrennial event, the championships change to a biennial format in 1996. The event had junior events until a merger with the Oceania Youth Championships occurred in 2000. Both senior and youth events are now held at the championships in a unified competition. Athletics New Zealand and Athletics Australia generally send weakened teams due to the small size of the other competing nations.
