Trophies for OFC tournament winners are made by London-based silversmiths Thomas Lyte.
In January 1999, the Oceania Club Championship was held in the Fijian cities of Nadi and Lautoka.
Unlike its previous format, the OFC Champions League lasts more than a half year, starting in October and ending the following April.
The OFC Champions League qualifies to FIFA Club World Cup, entering the competition in the playoff round.
The first OFC Champions League single leg final was played in Auckland, and was the first OFC Champions League final between two teams from the same country, with Auckland City defeating Waitakere United to win its 5th title.
Following the success of the 2017 season, the OFC added a quarterfinal round for the 2018 edition, meaning that the top two teams from each group qualified for the knock-out stage.
The 2019 final, Hienghène Sport–AS Magenta (both from New Caledonia), marked the first time in the history of the competition that there was no side from New Zealand present.
The number of teams that each federation enters into the OFC Champions League is based on the federations development criteria before the OFC, where the developed associations receive 2 places, which are Fiji, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tahiti and Vanuatu, and those considered developing associations receive a single place, where the associations are American Samoa, Cook Islands, Samoa and Tonga.
The current qualifying format for the group stage is determined by the two classifieds of the developed associations playing home and away games called National play-offs, while the teams from the developing associations play against each other in round-robin regime in a centralized location, where the best-scoring team qualifies for the group stage.
