Only the winners of the tournament, Tahiti, qualified to play in the 2011 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.

The Solomon Islands were the favorites, having won the last 3 other qualifying championships in 2006, 2007 and 2009,[2] but surprisingly lost in the final to Tahiti, despite beating them in the group stage.

All matches were held at the new Jardin de Paofai complex in Papeete, which was opened on 15 February 2011.

Four teams decided to enter into the tournament to compete for the one spot in the 2011 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.
